She was named Frances after Frances McKee from The Vaselines and Bean because Kurt thought she looked like a kidney bean on the ultrasound.

Frances debuted her first solo song on Instagram in May 2018.
She also acted as an executive producer on the HBO movie about her father's life — Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck.
How old was Frances Bean Cobain when Kurt Cobain died and what has she said about his suicide?
Frances was just a year old when Kurt took his own life on April 5, 1994.
The last time she saw him was when she was taken to visit him at a rehab facility in Los Angeles, less than a month before his death.
She said of his suicide in 2015: "Kurt got to the point where he eventually had to sacrifice every bit of who he was to his art because the world demanded it of him.
"I think that was one of the main triggers as to why he felt he didn't want to be here and everyone would be happier without him...

She shared two updates to her Instagram story of Kurt's hands and a throwback video of him with a young Frances.
She also posted a series of photos to Instagram, including two pictures of her with Kurt, accompanied by a lengthy caption paying tribute to her late father.
Frances explains that the photos were captured, "the last time we were together while he was still alive."
She wrote: "I wish I could’ve known my Dad. I wish I knew the cadence of his voice, how he liked his coffee or the way it felt to be tucked in after a bedtime story.
"Kurt wrote me a letter before I was born. The last line of it reads, “Wherever you go or wherever I go, I will always be with you.
"He kept this promise because he is present in so many ways. Whether it’s by hearing a song or through the hands we share, in those moments I get to spend a little time with my dad & he feels transcendent."
