Just seen online a baby name comeback list and this was on it
I am praying as this is my top name for DS1 but had negative comments so far

My friend has a boy called Francis, known as Frankie. It really suits him.

A lovely name

I have a Francis! So obviously I love it. He can have any nickname he wants (Frank/Frankie/Fran) but to his mother he’ll always be Francis ❤

It’s lovely! I never met a Francis (or Frances) I didn’t like.

Love it

Francis seems to be on something of an upward trajectory, though it's always been moderately popular in England and Wales. I like Francis, but no name is universally popular so I'd stop discussing names with people. If you tell someone the name after the baby is born, you are are fearless likely to get unwanted opinions.

Francis is such a lovely name. An absolute classic. I love the association with St Francis of Assisi as well.

FredrikaPeri · 18/09/2022 20:20

Also love François

Lovely name and nice association with Francis of Assisi

Francis was my late brothers middle name, I actually quite like it & it's much better than my own middle name

Einszwei · 19/09/2022 00:54

I love it but got vetoed by my OH.

Furnitureflipper · 19/09/2022 01:19
