A strong, classic Italian name. Nicknames like frank, Frankie, Franco and even Cesco are adorable :) I know this name is very popular in Italy, but I think it deserves popularity. It's a name with historical popularity, unlike many popular names in the US that seem to all be part of fads that fade out in a decade at most.

There is a Italian player called Francesco Totti who plays soccer for Italy. I live in Austalia. I'm part Italian (and French-Canadian) and ever since the world cup where Australia got an UNFAIR penalty shot against them which was put in the goals by Francesco Totti I've learnt to hate him. I hate it when ever I hear the name Francesco because it reminds me of him. :(
