Do you prefer Francis or Jonas?

[AmyInTheBoonies]

Any opinions welcome.

DD's name also ends in 'is' - think similar to Karis so Francis will be a bit rhymey but I think I'm ok with that.

[Floggingmolly]

Francis.

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

I love Francis. It's a proper strong timeless classic name. Jonas is a bit faddy

[albertcampionscat]

I love Francis, but the only one I know complains about it becoming Frances all the time.

[BarInSpace]

Francis

Prefer Jonah to Jonas.

[AmyInTheBoonies]

I see what you mean about Jonas being a bit faddy.

I like that it is quite European and works in a lot of countries but Francis may be not too bad in that respect too.

I really like Jonas.

[strawberrypenguin]

Jonas for me. I know Francis is a boys name but I always think of it as a girls name, possibly because I went to school with a Frances (I do like it as a girls name)

[Loulou2kent]

Francis is a lovely name

[Sophronia]

Francis

[rainbow99]

Francis. Jonas just reminds me of those singers.

[AmyInTheBoonies]

Thanks for the replies.

I am veering towards Francis today. I prefer the nickname Fran to Jo and we are of Irish descent so Francis seems to fit better with that too.

I do love both the names though so a hard decision.

[TataEs]

jonas.

tho francis is from house of cards, i just don't like it much

[albertcampionscat]

Francis has another great nickname in Frank, which could turn out useful if the kid's uncomfortable with the androgyny of 'Francis'.

(Nowt wrong with androgyny of course)

[GazingAtStars]

Francis is a horrible name id go with jonas
