  1. The Bee Gees made the name Fanny cool. Look up “Fanny Be Tender” by the Bee Gees. I also wanted to mention that Mark is a blemish, Dick ( I’m not going there), Ralph, Chester, Peter… The list goes on and on. Let’s grow up people! It’s a beautiful name.

  2. A popular name especially in countries where it does not have a vulgar connotation. I have always associated the name ‘Fanny’ with France

  3. I never liked my first name: Fanny it’s very popular among Latinos then I heard many here in US saying that my name is a slang for the ‘rear’ part of the human body, but actually I was looking for the real name, it could be Frances, Francine, Stephanie, it means ‘free one’ and ‘crown’, thinking now about my name, it isn’t as bad as I thought, thank you.

    • Well, at first I was happy about my name, but when a friend told me it meant buttock, I was ashamed. But this platform just made me positive about my name, meaning “free one” and “crown” so my name is not as bad as I thought.

  5. Named after Fanny Crosby, people will bring up fanny pack

    • Its means vagina in the UK lol

      • Nobody asked lol
