James Franco = ♥

Francisco Franco = evil

I'm torn. =/ I guess it's okay, but I wouldn't use it.

I know too many people whose last name is Franco & it seems strange as a fn imo.

It's quite a common name in Italy, but mainly for older men, I can't really imagine a little boy or even a young man named Franco.
In an English-speaking context, it's way too reminiscent of Francisco Franco, since that's the only reference.

Uh-oh, Spaghettios!

You know... 'cause they're made by Franco-American. That's what it makes me think of.

I'm not sure how many other people would think of him first but when I hear Franco all I can think of is Francisco Franco,the fascist dictator. So a definite no.

I find it hard to think of it as a first name, I know many people who have this as a last name.I guess if I were looking at it in a new way I'd have to say I dont mind it as a first name. It would seem a masculine, strong name to me.

James Franco

Otherwise I would just say that I dislike the nickname Frank so much that I would never use Franco.
