    		In the original novel, Gidget gives her name as Franzie, short for Franziska, after her Grandmother, but she doesn't give us her last name. In subsequent novels, her name is Franzie Hofer. In the films in which she appears her name is changed to Frances Lawrence, and the names of some other characters are changed as well.
