Middle names for Francis ...

MrsEmm

Not to be rude - but I dont really care/want to know what you think of Francis - just looking for MN options that flow well with it.

I know this isnt a popular name choice but DH & I are entertaining it. We would call her 'Frankie'.

any ideas??

?

I've always loved the name Francesca so I could call me daughter "Frankie", would Francis be pronounced liked "Frances"?

I like the pp suggestions, Jean or Grace is nice too.

Francis Grace

I think Francis Elizabeth sounds classic.  I've seen it more as a middle name, though, like Sarah Francis and my niece is Carly Francis.  You could still call her by her middle name.  All 4 kids in my family go by their middle name.

Anyway, what about:

Francis Marie 

Francis Mae (OMG, calling her Frankie Mae would be so cute!)

Francis Rae

Francis Lynn

Francis Grace 

Francis Elizabeth

Francis Evelyn

I like something shorter, like Jean or Grace.  How many syllables in your last name?  That could affect it too.

May/ Mae

Rose

Kate (could be Katherine if shorter long name)

Leigh/ Lee

Lynne/ Lynn

Oh, I like Frankie Jean  

"Jean" is the middle name of my mom, grandmom, and great grandmom.  I wish I could've  used it for Brynn, just is just does NOT go together.  Sigh.

Francis Mae (OMG, calling her Frankie Mae would be so cute!)

but our last name starts with an 'M' .... does it sound wierd:

Francis Mae Marino ???

The first name that popped into my head was Rose, but I also like the PP's suggestions of Elizabeth, Evelyn, and Grace.  I also agree that the length of your last name could impact which one sounds best.  I think Frankie is an adorable nickname.

I love love love the name Frances for a boy or a girl, but I did think that Francis with an "i" was for a boy and Frances with an "e" was for a girl. Am I wrong? Is it the other way around? (It will probably be the middle name for our child, regardless of gender!)

Francis Caroline

Francis Mallory

I love Frankie Mae! That's adorable!!

I also like Jean for the middle name. Courtney Love's/Kurt Cobain's daughter is named Frances Bean - I think that might be why Frances Jean sounds good to me - b/c it's familiar.

But I think Mae is the best!
