Is Francis too old for a baby/toddler?

[37andfree]

I really love this name

No, it’s the perfect vintage to come around again

I don't think so! I have a little Francis and know another one too.

A person is only a baby for a tiny amount of their lives! So choose a name that suits a young and old man!

Nope it's beautiful.

Everyone called Francis was a baby once. Its a lovely name.

It's a dreadful name for any age.

It's fine. I like it.

It's fine.

My main issue with it is that when you say it out loud it sounds just like Frances and upon hearing the name I'd always assume a girl because I know several women named Frances but only one man who was always Frank. I also personally dislike Frank and Frankie.

The female version is my middle name. I was a baby once.

It's a good name

I think it works! I've known a few little ones with names which were definitely not "babyish" but almost immediately they just become their names if that makes sense, and you no longer think "Francis, does that work for a baby?", you just know that baby as Francis.

Like a pp I would first assume the child was a female Frances, but not be hugely shocked to be corrected.

I know a female Frances, nickname Frankie, I think its cute.

I think it’s really lovely! Then he could have nn Frankie or Frank as he grows up. I think it’s really classy :)

I like it and every adult Francis was a baby once.

No it’s lovely. Becoming quite popular

I think they will get called Frankie, which is really cute.

Nope. Love it.

I currently have a 14 month old Francis snuggly on my lap, everyone has said lovely things about it (to my face anyway!)

He’s Frank or Frankie to some, which I’m totally fine with, but always Francis to me

Frankie is a lovely nickname for a baby Francis, if you wanted. I like it.

It's spot on trend.
