Title: Francine Manx Post by: formallykat on August 27, 2009, 10:57:13 pm Not really a fan of the last name 'Manx' for Francine. I don't think it suits her ... plus a Manx cat typically doesn't have a tail! Seeing as its not official, I've been thinking about what surname would suit her character better.
Anybody got their own ideas? :francine: Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Violet on August 27, 2009, 11:20:20 pm It's ok to not like the name "Manx" for her since it's not really her name anyway. It doesn't suit her and it was just made up by someone who thought she should have a surname. But yeah, it seems most of the other SPC characters do have one.
Unlike Polly Ester and Speedy Servic(h)e, you can't make a good pun out of "Francine". If I were a SPC writer, I would have probably stuck with the pizza theme and named her something like Francine Focaccia (pizza crust). Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: D-Mac on August 28, 2009, 12:53:25 am The name "Francine Manx" was actually coined by White Cat, for those who've been around long enough to remember his page. ;)
"Francine Tabbyworth" is one I've seen a couple times in recent years, but doesn't sit quite as well with me. Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Romero Anchovy on August 28, 2009, 02:13:26 am I'm kinda cool with the name Manx...she could have been adopted...and I like Vi's choice of last name...although it's hard for me to pronoucne...me my self i have a couple of names in mind...
Francine Hugbees: Y? Cause I love saying Hugbees...go on...try it...Hugbees (cookie to who ever can teel me what cartoon that's from) Francine Cat: Y? It's simple and it works I have more...but i have to think of them... Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: sjonnoh on August 28, 2009, 08:29:14 am I just came up with this one...Francine furtail, don't know why and none of the cats actually have a "furry" tail
but to be honest, I think her last name must be pretty long, and not short like manx maybe even this one would fit: Francine uppercut Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: KageReneko on August 28, 2009, 10:04:45 am HUGBEES!!! Don't make me start...
The soanish dub of the series never mentiones Fran's last name so it sounds weird for me... I really don't like it but I don't know what last name to give her... HUGBEES!!! Great,I can't sop now... Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Helios on August 28, 2009, 10:22:53 am I think that a money-themed surname would suit her a lot better than some sort of food or pun based one. Although I don't have a problem with 'Manx'.
Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Romero Anchovy on August 28, 2009, 01:47:02 pm That's a good point Helios and i thought about that also but what?
Francine Benjamin? Francine Lincoln? Francine Jefferson? Francine Washinton? or maybe something other than US Currency Francine Marks? Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: sjonnoh on August 28, 2009, 02:01:55 pm although she is a money maniac, I think a last name about money doesn't fit. I just go for some last name that's just pretty normal
Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: D-Mac on August 28, 2009, 03:16:00 pm :francine: Francine Banks?
...Livin' with her auntie and uncle in Bel-Air? Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Razgrizblaze1 on August 28, 2009, 04:55:34 pm :francine: Francine Banks? Haha, that's like a pun of her current fanon surname... How about Francine Cache? ;] Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: sjonnoh on August 28, 2009, 05:27:26 pm :francine: Francine Banks? wow..actually that was something I thought too and then I thought of Philip banks...Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Mechadon on August 28, 2009, 05:56:55 pm :francine: Francine Banks? Hells yah, D-mac got it right. The rest of you fail. I can't think of anything better than that. My best is "Francine 'The Nose that Knows where the Hoes Goes'" Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Romero Anchovy on August 28, 2009, 07:20:26 pm Francine Banks...For somereason now i really can see her in Bel Air...we should have a polll....Banks or Manx? The Battle for the Last name....
Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: MisterOhma on August 28, 2009, 07:45:37 pm I dunno about you guys, but I'm plenty cool with just "Francine". XD
Though to kick something into the pot, while she's got a money thing going on, she's also surrounded by bells. The one on her collar, on her dress (apron?), heck, even on the tip of her tail.

'Francine Bell' is kinda nice come to think of it Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Tigriss on August 30, 2009, 05:29:27 am This has been fanon for a long time now, and I still like it. Just because Francine isn't a Manx doesn't mean she can't have the last name Manx, like how Tigriss isn't a tigress, or how not everyone with the last name "Smith" is actually a smith.

I thought it had a nice ring to it... *gets hauled away for bad puns* Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: MisterOhma on August 30, 2009, 10:05:21 am C'mon, this is SPC! We're all about bad puns here. XD

Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Blackcat on October 30, 2009, 06:35:54 pm Francine Wine
Wine tends to be expensive in America, and something the "high class" drinks... Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: blind2d on October 30, 2009, 11:08:25 pm But she's not whiny! I don't think.... hmm.... Francine... F..... French?

Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Crow on November 02, 2009, 03:58:34 pm Francine Kōrogi Most epic first post I've ever seen in this whole forum. ~Darc Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Blackcat on November 03, 2009, 07:33:17 pm But then everyone wouls make jokes about her being the only one with a Japanese lastname!
Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: felineki on November 03, 2009, 11:59:16 pm Plus it would be kind of ironic for a cat to have a surname that means "cricket". :P
PS: Satomi Koorogi's name is in my Japanese word processor's built-in dictionary. Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Bubble_Rabbit on November 06, 2009, 07:29:09 pm Maybe a character doesnt need a last name. Francine has a nice sound to it, I like it a lot and since the show never gave her a last name maybe we should leave it at that. Just a though, I dont know, but to be honest, I cant think of a last name either XD
Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Blackcat on December 11, 2009, 06:26:19 pm That pun would work better with the princess...
Title: Re: Francine Manx Post by: Tigriss on December 15, 2009, 06:05:33 am Francine Pound - British currency, and a place cats go to die. Morbid pun, and it works. Not funny in the slightest. |
