Where as "John" you would know that it is a boy (99.9999%)

No. the male pronounciation is FrancIs, the female FrancEs.

Hmm I've only ever heard them the same. However, if it helps you, use Jo/Joe in my example.

They definitely sound the same. Just like Eve/Yves sound that same.

I pronounce both "Francis". Maybe it varies regionally.

" There is no female name that sounds like "john "

Joan? Joanne?
Joanna?

AntigoneJones · 12/05/2017 13:29

Jean?

None of those sound exactly like John though - just vaguely similar but not enough to cause confusion. We're talking actual homophones.
