Francis

[Fredisbest]

Opinions please? Is it too old man?

Our friend is shortened to Frankie.

I love it and I got talked out of using it ☹️

Awful, one of my least favourite names. Wet blanket, as PP said.

That said, Frankie sounds cool.

My ex was called Francis, and about as far away from a wet blanket as you could imagine.

I really like it- same vibe as Patrick for me as a underused classic.

it's fucking awful imagine it when he's 20 how much worse it will be

I’ve got a toddler Francis, so obviously I love it we usually shorten to Fran. I don’t mind Frank, but I really don’t like Frankie. To be fair he can shorten it to whatever he wants, but he’ll always be Francis to his mother!

Horrible. And also the Pope vibes .. just no

Lovely

Really horrible - probably least favourite boy's name. It just doesn't sound right at all for a boy - it's so feminine, so the result is a very wet, also kind of supercilious unpleasant name. The short forms are also awful.

Love it - it’s a middle name for one of our children

Love it OP, it's a carry you anywhere name.
