My mums friend ( a woman ) is called Francis. I’ve never known a man called Francis. I think it’s a really sappy, wet sounding name for a woman or a man.

Most women have the spelling Frances, so your mum‘s friend will be an outlier I imagine in having the male spelling.

I like Frankie for a little boy, but imagine being a 20 year old Frank!

I love the name Francis. Less keen on Frank. I’ve known boys called ‘Frannie’ when at school (which happened to be Catholic). No-one thought that was strange or funny.

Francis is nice but I’m not keen on Frank, there seem to be a lot of little Frankies about at the moment and I’m not a fan. Fran is quite nice for a nickname though, classic.
