<p>And what happened to the name Francis in the last 100 years?</p>
<p>I know someone named Ferdinand! He’s Spanish (lol). Also, someone named Francis (He’s half white half asian of some sort)</p>
<p>Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor</p>
<p>The greatest basketball player ever.</p>
<p>lol Kareem is such a cooler name though</p>
<p>^^lol LUCKY >:b</p>
<p>One of the math teachers at my school is named Ferdinand. People who aren’t students call him Ferd.</p>
<p>Ferd 
<em>10 char</em></p>
<p>lol i would call him that too</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There’s a highly ranked college that is occasionally referred to as Furd.</p>
<p>I know a student called Fernando. It’s close.</p>
<p>I know a Francis. We go paintballing every few weeks.</p>
<p>I also know a Francisco and a Fernando. No Ferdinands though.</p>
<p>Hey! I know a Ferdinand! He’s one of my better friends. We call him Ferd though.</p>
<p>Oh, and there was a character in The Great Gatsby named Ferdie…so I called Ferd “Ferdie” for quite a while :P</p>
<p>lol @ random Great Gatsby characters, most of whom are inebriated.</p>
<p>I wish I knew someone named Ferdinand :/</p>
<p>I love wierd names =D</p>
<p>It sounds like such a nice name. So sophisticated and elegant. Pity, people don’t name their sons like that anymore.</p>
<p>I don’t know about Ferdinand. In fact, the only thing I think of is Magellan.
Then there’s Fitzwilliam which I have never heard of anyone non-fictional being named.</p>
<p>I feel like I’ve met a Francis, but I have no idea why…or where.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>More highballs! I’m tight.</p>
<p>rofl @ “sophisticated and elegant.”</p>
<p>Some of Ferdinand’s other friends refer to him as “Turdinand.”
Kids these days :D</p>
<p>Frances…I know one (not that I ever call her that)</p>
