Frances Bean Cobain (born August 18, 1992) is the daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. After her father's suicide, custody of her went to her mother until the latter was arrested after an OxyContin overdose in October 2003.
Frances was then placed in the care of Kurt's mother, Wendy O'Connor. In January 2005 Frances was placed back into her mother's custody (Courtney Love).
Frances Cobain was named after Frances McKee of the Vaselines. Her middle name is 'Bean' because Kurt thought she looked like a kidney bean on the ultrasound. She is often said to have the distinctive features of her father. Frances just recently knew about the details about her father's death, by her mother. Although she has her father's eyes and face, she does not like to be reminded about looking like her father. Furthermore, when she hears a song by her father it makes her sad, and she opts to not listen to his music because of this. Her nicknames include Franny (which her mother calls her).
