Nope. In the 1950s and in Irish neighborhoods, guys were still named
Frances as the long or formal form of Frank and Frank was considered as
a dimunitive form of Frances, which was spelled with an e to
disambiguate it from the girl's name Francis.

Needless to say, guys who were addressed by the nuns as Frances in
Irish Catholic schools got a lot of ***, and the scene in the 1981
film stripes, in which the new recruits introduce themselves is based
on this.

My post was based on what Harold Ramis, one of the stars in Stripes,
does after Psycho gives his little spiel. Ramis shakes his hand as if
to say "look, I'm so scared" and says ooooo and Frances/Psycho glares
at Ramis' character, and says, "you're on my list". Whereupon the old
Sarge says, "lighten up, Frances".
