Expecting DS imminently.

Have a DD with a traditional ‘old ladies name’ (think Florence, Edith, Evelyn, Lilian-it’s along these lines)

I really like the name Franco for DS but worried it doesn’t ‘go’ with DD name-also he is likely to be blonde and fair with a fairly traditional English surname. Does this matter? Also considering Franklin and just using Franco as a nickname.

I wouldn't worry about how he's going to look matching up to a name at all. However I really don't think that using Franco as a name is the way to go at all, my mind would be heading straight to General Franco every time and there's just no positives there.

Yep, first thought was also General Franco. Although admittedly when he's a toddler he'll live up to the name.

My mind goes straight to General Franco and that's not good.

Ah, Franklin is fine, then. Hadn’t thought about General Franco- hm, one to think about.

Daisypond I don’t like Francis.

I just think of General Franco. Which is not something I would want my child’s name associated with!

daisypond · 24/08/2019 09:52

I think it’s odd, sorry. Why not call him Francis with Franco as a short form?

No, it doesn't matter! They will be two completely different people so having different style names won't matter.

Besides, Franco is a really lovely name 😊
