France 1

France is a French name? Rofl.

I didn’t even know France was used as a name until I looked it up. I don’t like this. Naming your child Paris is one thing, but France is a no.

I feel like this name would be good for someone who stands out. Otherwise, it's alright.

I am French and I think that this is a stupid name because it is not right to call someone a country and it does not make sense to call a person French in Francais.

I never knew the name "France" was used as a first name. I knew it was used as a surname because it's my surname. People always ask if I'm French which I'm not. I'm English but with my first name being Antoinette with my middle name being Marie, I do understand why people think I'm French. I've been looking into the origins on the surname France for sometime but have found it quite difficult and I keep running into dead end's. But I've not given up yet.

Sure, you don't really hear of people called Spain or Portugal, but you get girls named Paris. I don't see the difference, to be honest.

In my opinion, France is very beautiful, sophisticated and elegant. Though my perception of the name may be somewhat coloured by my view of the country. :) I'm a little surprised to learn that this name is actually more popular in Québéc than in France, usually as a hyphenated name such as Marie-France.

That's my middle name, and it bugs me so much when I get mail, because it always says, "Frances" which isn't my middle name. And I like it a lot, mostly because I got the name after my great-grandmother.

This name is also used in Quebec. I have a friend from Quebec called Mélanie-France, and I think her name is gorgeous. I really like the name France, but I could only ever use it if I marry a French guy (it would seem weird on an Irish girl like me!) And no, it isn't like calling your daughter Spain. Spain is called España in Spanish, but France is actually called "France" in French, and in France, it's a perfectly legit name.
Anyway, it's a beautiful name for a French girl, and I think it works better as a double name, like Mélanie-France, Ophélie-France and my favourite, Coralie-France.

This name is very amusing, since it's the name of a country.

Okay! This is getting weird. I myself am part French and naming your child your child after a location? Give the poor kid a break! Francis or Fran are better. France! No way! Save it for the country in Europe.

This name is rather silly. After all, you don't exactly name your child Spain or Portugal, do you?

I like this as a nickname.
