For a boy I'm thinking, possibly with Henry as middle name.

Francis Henry

???

That was my gd's name :)

My brother got Francis as a first name, no one really uses it, they use his middle name. I think the misspelling and assumption he would be a girl used to annoy him slightly though....

Henry was my gd's name, which is why I really like it!

I prefer Henry.
I don't like Frank as a nickname.

I know 2 male francis...

One goes by mike
One goes by Dave.

Although I like it, no one I know with that actual name seems to like it

Francis is fine,but Frank/Frankie is one of the ugliest names I can think of. It's hideous.

I love Henry, but am afraid not keen on Francis/Frank/Frankie. Henry Francis? Sorry not helpful!

Love Francis. Frankie not so much.

I like Francis, and I don't think it needs a nickname.

I really love Francis, not so keen on Frankie but it's inevitably going to be his nn, still wouldn't put me off using Francis. Even the shortest names are shortened - my son Leo is nn Lou!

My brother is Francis, nicknamed 'Fran'. As a little boy, my mum used to call him 'Francie.' I like it.
