Fanny

Old-fashioned girl's name

Fanny is a given name for women, originally a diminutive of Frances.

Once common in the nineteenth century, it has largely fallen out of use—partly because of the word's vulgar British meaning.

Fanny Brice, Fanny Price in Mansfield Park. (Lowercase fanny is slang for buttocks or vulva.)
