Francis for a boy?

I'm interested to hear what people think of the name Francis (nn Frank) for a boy? I like the nn Franky, but already have an Eddie (Edward), so I'm not sure about having an Eddie and Franky. I'm worried the two together sound a bit cliched. What do you think??

I love the name Francis! Little Frankie is gorgeous and I think Edward and Francis or Eddie & Frankie sounds really good together.

I love Frankie

Frank is a bit Eastenders. NOT sure about Francis. It might grow on me.

I like it :)

No. Sorry but this name manages to be both dull and a bit poncey at the same time.

No offence to any parents of a Francis. Grin

Lovely, Frankie is such a lovely nn too!

don't really get it but in Spain, one nickname they use for Francisco is Paco, which is really cute

Oh Lord the only Francis I know is a total PITA.
Frankie is sweet though.
