Frank's brother

Hi, we absolutely love DS1 name, Frank. It suits him. It's cool. It's not common but not crazy either, plus there's some family history.

What on earth do we call baby 2 if he's a boy (not 20 weeks yet to find out). Any suggestions for our long list? Like Jamie (James?) and Patrick a lot. Suggestions welcome! Thank you.

Thank you, I like Albert but not sure it's sounds too matchy with Frank. Also love David and added to our list - DH less keen!

I don't think Albert is matchup. It's good to have a name from the same era.

He's just Frank - such a great name Bendy, we get comments all the time. I don't really like Francis, it's a totally different sound to Frank.

Grandfathers names are no good, great grandfathers are William (Bill) but that's Frank's middle name, Clifford, Eric and Kenneth! Not a fan of any of those tbh!

We've got Jamie, Samuel and Daniel on the list too. Added Albert as I think it's a grower.

Ooh like Sid! Just found out I had great grandfathers named Albert and David so liking either of those.

Love Stan but can't use and when I say 'Frank and Stan' I hear Franenstein Grin...my issue but I can't unhear it!

Frank and Sid would be seriously cool!

Baby I agree, Francis feels a bit wet to me! (Sorry to any Francises out there!)

Art? I personally don't like Arthur but think Art feels similar to Frank and Albert, which you've said you like. Re Albert I know a baby Bertie, can't decide whether I prefer Albie or Bertie!
