... Franklin? If so, how old are they?

Curious also about the nicknames Frankie (for a boy) and Frank and whether you've met anyone with those names?

No but I really like the name.

I know one Frank (full name) mid twenties.

JammyDodgersandPeas · 01/08/2020 14:12

I taught a teenage Franklin who must now be in his mid 20s. The only Franks I know are friends of my parents so probably mid 60s.

I have a Franklin Smile he is 10. Always Franklin, never been shortened to Frank or Frankie so far.

I know a Franklin in his early 50s. His brother is called Benjamin. He is Dutch/Australian.

Frank Bruno has a son called Franklyn.

I know a Frank, Francis on bc, and was called Frankie in childhood.

SisterCellophane · 01/08/2020 13:34

I have, but he is in his 60s. Jamaican guy rather than UK born. Weirdly don't know any Franks or Frankies.

Yes I know a Franklin and he's under 3

EL8888 · 31/07/2020 08:42

I knew a Franklin, he’s sadly passed away. He would be in his 60’s now if he was alive

Bodgedboxdye · 31/07/2020 00:02

Yup. He’s 1. (:

TheVanguardSix · 31/07/2020 00:01

I have not met a Franklin but I do love the name itself! The Roosevelts just had cool names, didn't they? Franklin's a good name. I don't know any Franks. My kids range from 18 to 6 and in all of their school years, I've never come across a Frank. I'm in London, if that counts for anything.

stumblingthroughlife · 30/07/2020 23:57

floralf · 30/07/2020 23:48

Lovebug06 · 30/07/2020 10:36

StellaDelMare · 30/07/2020 10:29

Never met a Franklin. I’ve known one Frankie (age 7 boy).

Franklin is a cute variation
