| May 18, 2023 at 13:51 | comment | added | steelersquirrel | @Sneftel In the baptism scene, he christens Connie's baby, Michael's Godson as Michael Francis Rizzi. The baptism scene says nothing about Michael Corleone's middle name | |
| May 16, 2023 at 14:59 | comment | added | Sneftel | It's in the script. And the film, of course. | |
| May 16, 2023 at 14:56 | comment | added | OrangeDog | @Sneftel odd that it's not in the page for the character in any wiki I looked at. | |
| May 16, 2023 at 13:24 | comment | added | Sneftel | @OrangeDog Of course Michael's middle name is Francis. It's in the dialog and everything, remember the baptism scene? | |
| May 16, 2023 at 11:53 | comment | added | fectin | This answer does not rely on any particular middle name being correct, and does not need to address it. The querent was confused due to a misunderstanding on how monograms work; this answer addresses it. | |

| May 15, 2023 at 18:44 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | Did Francis Ford Coppola just insert his own name in there as an Easter Egg or something? | |
| May 15, 2023 at 14:44 | comment | added | Kevin | According to this article, it is Francis. But the article simply state's it as fact, it doesn't give any justification for stating it. latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-12-23-ca-9701-story.html | |
| May 15, 2023 at 14:20 | comment | added | Barmar | Since this is how monograms work, we can conclude that his middle name begins with F. It doesn't have to be specifically Francis. | |
| May 15, 2023 at 10:53 | comment | added | steelersquirrel | @OldPadawan Yes, it's allowed; however, it doesn't make it a good answer. If OP would add source and explanation to the answer explaining what the monogram stands for, then it would be a good answer :) | |
| May 15, 2023 at 10:45 | comment | added | OldPadawan | Well, it's giving an opinion, which is allowed and fine though but I'd rather get what I couldn't find :) | |
| May 15, 2023 at 10:42 | comment | added | steelersquirrel | @OldPadawan Agreed. This answer does not answer your question. Unfortunately, it will continue to get needless upvotes as it made it to HNQ ;) | |
| May 15, 2023 at 6:46 | comment | added | OldPadawan | @steelersquirrel : neither could I, except for his godson "Michael Francis Rizzi" (godfather gives his names to godson?) but I can't find reliable source to back this up (and that would make the answer!). | |
| May 15, 2023 at 1:49 | comment | added | steelersquirrel | You provided an explanation on monograms, but no confirmation that Michael Corleone's middle name is Francis... | |
| May 14, 2023 at 23:48 | comment | added | OrangeDog | So his middle name is Francis? I couldn't find any confirmation. | |
