Reminds of a Scottish TV presenter talking to Fanny Craddock many years ago, a celebrity chef / cook back in the 60s and the 70s.
They were making donuts live on TV.
They looked great and the presenter told everyone. " When the programme finishes, I hope you get into the kitchen and make some doughnuts. I really hope they turn out like Fanny's!"
Of course that is a word that has different meanings depending on what side of the Atlantic you learned your English....

... but both definitions of the word are unseemly and funny enough to make one wonder why anyone would name or even nickname a daughter “Fanny?”

Fanny is a very old name to call girls, its dates back to I700s, or even further back. There is a book called Fanny Hill. Which I won't mention the plot of it, but I heard it was banned way back then

Fanny Hill was, indeed, banned. And I know that Fanny is a time-honored name in the UK, and in the US Southern states as well. My Mother had an Aunt Fanny, the mention of whose name was guaranteed to send us children into paroxysms of laughter.
I still want to ask anyone who calls a child Fanny, “WHAT WERE YOU THINKING ?”
