Foy is a medieval French name, or sometimes nickname, meaning "faith". Highly unusual now as a first name, it's most familiar to contemporary English speakers as the last name of British actress…
Foy
Surname, from French
"faith"
This once-popular surname name (rhymes with Roy) has since faded away, but we think it has a simple, stylish charm.

Frankly
Word name
"in an open and honest manner"
A rare example of an adverb baby name. Currently, Frankly only appears as a male name, but as Franklyn and Franklin rise up for girls, we expect Frankly to make a turn for the feminine.

As a given name, Franky peaked for boys in 2007 when it was used 94 times.

Another old-school nickname getting new attention thanks to TV's Mad Men . Names like Fred, Pete, and George have been out so long it's time for them to come back in. It reentered the US Top 1000 in…
Freddy
Short form of Alfreda, Frederica, or Winifred, English
"wise counselor, peaceful ruler, blessed peacemaking"
