As names like Arthur and Stanley become more mainstream will a name like Cecil or Francis make a comeback?

I thought this to myself and re Cecil thought "no never". But then I'd have thought the same about Stanley.

Cecil is horrible, and the American pronunciation See-sil is even worse. I do know a female Cecil though, which is odd.

Sounds too old even for an old guy. Not recommended and deffo not to be shortened especially if your surname is Pitt.

Francis is one of those names that has never been in or out of fashion.

What about Cyril? I had a great-uncle Cyril, but the only others I've ever come across were Cyrille Regis (footballer) and a French bloke.

Also though t of ssesil, Francis is ds2's middle name so obviously I like it.
