Is this name male or female?

Is the name Francois commonly used for a male or female?

[zetaarnold]

I think it is french and usually female.

Thank you Zetaarnold. Thought it was French & Profile said female w/no pic. 60 yrs. old. Left my female pic loads of compliments which sounded more like a man. Never can tell w/Nigerian scammer genderbenders.

Maybe another Senegal scam. Thanks again

François is normally a french name, and it's suitable for males.
Françoise is also a french name, for females. So, (François/Françoise) - (male/female)
Ex: François Mauriac (male)
Françoise Sagan (female)

Thanks for that Marmufre. It's definitely spelled without the e at the end. (Also has the French C that doesn't appear to be on my American keyboard - wondering if they have those in W.Africa?)

[MARMUFRE]

There's so many African countries that have french as their official language. Senegal, which is one of the scammers nests, is an example. Ghana and Nigeria are english speakers. Congo, Guiné, Madagascar, and others, are all french speakers. This kind of "c", the "ç" is normal in latin languages, as french and portuguese.

bella mujer! quièro mucho! i like you xxxx

French name w/French "C" in user name, but types as FRAN9OIS. Location: Algiers

Most suspicious thing "Call me in my email" and part English, part Spanish writing(maybe not sure which one I speak?) Also says Ur new friend, but has not sent friend request. Of course I suppose he/she means to be friends on Yahoo.

Will post up if I get more info.

As always - from Quespasa
p.s.will try to translate later
