What do you think of the name
Francis for a boy? I was thinking about that name recently. I noticed that according to the popularity lists, the name has declined quite a bit over the past several decades. That is not a bad thing; that just means it's one of those names that is now an underused but established name, and a great change from the names that are currently high on the lists.
One thing that some people have mentioned is how the name is similar to the feminine form,
Frances. However, I noticed that both the masculine and feminine forms have declined on their respective genders over the past several decades, with both now in the 500's on the popularity lists for their respective genders.
