oooooo

But you posted the pic, Melo, old bean. Didn't you know it was Francis Bacon?

"Franky" (Frankie) is an English alternative or nickname for "Francis" (male) or "Frances" (female).

For example, Francis Albert Sinatra was severally known as Frank, Franky/Frankie and "Ol' Blue eyes".

I posted the Francis Bacon picture, when you said Franky, I did a search and didn't find antything relationed with Francis and I didn't relationed too!

So, Frank isn't a name? It's a nickname? Sorry my ignorance!

Well, Frank CAN be a name on its own, but often it is a nickname for Francis, Francisco, Francesco, and less often for Franklin, etc.

No ignorance to apologise for there, matey.

BTW, we use the nickname "Chico" for Francisco.

In Spanish we use the nicknames "Paco" and "Curro" for that very same name though they are not similar to it at all.
