Franco Mussida (born 1947), former guitarist of Italian progressive rock band Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM), and personally, one of my favorite guitarists.
This is my boyfriend's name. It's quite common here in Argentina, I think I've met like five of them in my life. I don't like it so much, I wouldn't recommend it, I know it sounds powerful but there is no depth in it.

Love this name! Especially when pronounced with a rolled 'r'.

In the same category of names like "Hitler", "Stalin", "Mussolini", "Zedong", etc.: impossible to separate from a brutal dictator.

Franco sounds like an interesting substitute for the common name (at least here in the U.S.A.) of Francis. If one thinks this name would suit a future child then by all means use it and enjoy!

If it weren't for Francisco Franco, I would like it. The sound is okay, but it has the same feel as Pinochet or Mussolini or something because of the dictator.

I love this name. It's strong and has an international feel to it. I prefer it 100 times more than Francisco or Francesco. It can be shortened to Frank or Franky too, cute nicknames.

I don't like this name. All I can think of is that monster General Franco. I'd expect his brothers to be called Adolf and Benito.

This is a common Spanish name as well, especially in certain areas of Latin America.
