[Opinions] Re: Francis
in reply to a message by Owl
I adore Francis for a boy. It's so intelligent and sophisticated. Where's the teasing potential? Because it sounds like Frances for a girl? Pish-posh. There's no real way to anticipate gender assignments of names anymore. Just give him a traditionally masculine mn and hope for the best. It's all parents of little boys can do now anyway.I've always thought the nn Fitz would be cute. :-)

I'm so glad to hear that people seem to like it! I do love the nn Fitz, and it never occurred to me to use it for Francis (my immediate thought was Frank, which I also like). Thank you for the suggestion!

You're welcome. I forgot to add that the name Franciscus could be used if you fear Francis is too girly. As I said above, I don't think it is. But just in case you get cold feet. Love the nn Frank, by the way.
