Quote on the name "THE ACT FRANCiS!™"

"When choosing a band name, one either uses the word "The" in the title or one doesn't. I do. The word "ACT" is for what THE ACT FRANCiS!™ is. THE ACT FRANCiS!™ is an entertainment act. I picked the name Francis, instead of a made up gimmick, because the word has alot of meaning to me. Francis became my nickname with friends, as well, I have always liked the work of Francis Sinatra. He used the name Frank, so I figured I would get away with the word Francis because it is a tribute to my mother's name. There is the strength. I have to tell people "but with an 'I'" not an "e" when they spell it. That is why the "i" is not capitalized in THE ACT FRANCiS!™ Simple."
