I think weak nouns are those ending with -a or -i in nominative. All other nouns are strong.

I don't speak any Icelandic but have a question about a sentence I need to write.
Given the Icelandic person name 'Frans', how would I make it into the Genitive? I have trouble because it already ends with an -s.
Thanks in advance.
