Yes. ‘Gino’ (rather than ‘Gina’) is a guy name, while ‘Francesca’ is a woman’s name. This incorrect framing (the correct legal use of ‘X v Y’ would of course be to use her inconveniently-male-sounding surname) is a cheap but useful PR trick for her, so she’s not going to miss it, and this framing is part of her overall defense: that she’s being persecuted out of misogyny and she is the real victim here.
My guess is that it’s because “Francesca” sounds more sympathetic as a name.
