[Opinions] Re: Some present and future Italian babies
Yes, Francesca can certainly be considered the equivalent of Jennifer as a name that was relatively uncommon until the late 1970s and then had a phenomenal boom. Though I don't think nowadays you'd meet a lot of baby Jennifer's in the English-speaking world, would you?

No, haven't seen any baby Jennifers. Currently, the trend in my (French-speaking) community is to use English names. Sometimes spelled in an unlikely way...I think parents just hear them, and reproduce them phonetically. Alexandre is the boy name of choice, has been for a few years now. Girls' names, as always, more varied.
