Frances

My mother is a Frances, born in 1969. She says she hates it when people spell it with an “I” instead of an “E” (Francis).
She says to me, that Frances is for females, and Francis for males.
Although this statement is not always true, depending on where you live or come from. We live in Australia (VIC).

In 2018, 67 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Frances who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 155th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.

Well... I am a Fran but only my best friends call me Franny. I recently lost a sister who only called me Franny. I was named after my father's only sister. I never really cared for my name but love the fact that when I am called Franny, it's from my closest friends. It's a term of endearment. It's unique.

I have only ever met Frances-es that were female, although I do have a few Francis-es in my family tree.
