She's why so many girls born in the 50s and 60s were called Connie.

Really not a common name in the 50's and 60's I think. But Connie was a stage name for Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero, her full name on her birth certficate.

My brother dated two different girls named Connie in H.S.

One of my favorite nieces was born in the 1950s and was named Connie too. But you google the top girls names for that era and Connie isn't there.

Connie Francis however was born around 1938. She was 87 when she passed.

I said lots of girls were named Connie.
I didn't say she was the top name used in the 50s and 60s.
The top name was Mary.

LOL and I didn't say you did. I was just offering what I intended to be reasonable commentary on your question of why so many were named Connie in the 50's 60s. I tend to try to answer questions--it's in my DNA I guess--but no biggie.

My dad's favorite female singer.

She was sharp, great voice, had that classic housewife look, not like today
