Are there more contemporary nickname options for [name_u]Francis[/name_u]?
What about:
[name_m]Cisco[/name_m]
[name_m]Franco[/name_m]
[name_u]Frankie[/name_u]
[name_m]Fitz[/name_m]
?
[name_u]Frankie[/name_u]
[name_m]Frank[/name_m]
[name_m]Franz[/name_m]
[name_m]Fritz[/name_m]

[name_m]Fritz[/name_m] is cute. I don’t know if it’ll work with our last name, but it’s worth considering. Thanks!
I love [name_m]Franklin[/name_m], though that is a longer version, so not a traditional nickname.
Most of the ones I could think of have already been mentioned, so getting a little creative, maybe you like Fossey? Or [name_u]Finch[/name_u]?
[name_m]Frank[/name_m] means “free man” so technically.
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_m]Dermot[/name_m]
[name_m]Carlos[/name_m]
There’s always [name_u]Fran[/name_u]…although that may sound a little too feminine.
To be honest, I’ve found that your child’s friends almost always manage to murder the name you so carefully selected, by finding a nickname you absolutely hate! 
You can’t escape!
