User Sweetbabe (above) needs a day job! Lol. Anyway... Francesco Quinn is the son of legendary Mexican-American film star, Anthony Quinn. Francesco was born to an Italian mother in Rome, Italy in 1963 and also became an actor before his untimely passing in 2011.

Though very popular in Italy, the name Francesco is relatively uncommon in other countries like the US. It was only given to 119 baby boys born here in 2012.
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.

Sheesh! This list above of well-known Francesco's is so long, I'm turned off by the popularity of this name already! Personally, I think this name (along with the Spanish 'Francisco') sucks. I prefer Franco over Francesco anytime. Not as common.
My friend has this name but, people usually mistake it with Francisco. I don't get how they're totally different names.

It's such a handsome and friendly name. This name is youthful, but still mature at the same time. It's also my grandfather's name. If circumstances permit, when I have a son, I will name him Francesco (nickname Frankie).
