DH has a niece named Francesca, never shortened.
I want to call DS Frank after my grandfather who brought me up, are these too close for cousins?
See them a couple of times a year at the most.

I'd ask them what they think and explain it's a family name for you. It's the male version of her name so a bit odd to use it without even mentioning it prior, but not identical enough for them to be justified in saying no. It would prevent any animosity.

Love Frank. Was my Grandpa’s name

Use just Frank. Franklin is awful. I like Francis as a middle name.

Mr Lampard is just Frank and he turned out ok - got an A* in GCSE Latin and an OBE

My grandfather was just Frank so I am going to stick with just Frank as it is a standalone name

It’s fine.
I would personally go for Francis or Franklin as a full name to give him options,

Go for it they are very different.

I'd say it's fine. I love the name Frank!

Not at all. Frank is a lovely name. I have a nephew called Frank.
