Re: Frances/ Francis
in reply to a message by raindancing
I agree with you about Francis Jack, even Francis Jonathan would have been better. I don't know why, but whilst I think Jack is fine for a first name, it seems to nicknamey to me for a middle name- how strange is that? Alice Rosalind is just beautiful!
How interesting that your great grandparents were both called Frances/ Francis! Did it ever get confusing for them? I guess that a married couple and even a mother and son would probably have different nicknames, like Frances and Frankie or Frannie and Francis.
Edited to add: Sometimes I'm really thick, if they were your great grandparents you probably didn't know them that well. Sorry!
