Do you like this name? How many do you know?
Is it too bold for a new baby?

I like Frank a great deal. Cool dude name

Francis to me is wet and blah I don't like it at all.

I know a 2 yo frank. He's gorgeous. The name really suits him.

Frankie is better than Frank.

Yes we have been considering Francis for the birth certificate but calling him Frank/Frankie
It seems like Francis for the birth certificate is the most popular option

I love it! I know one in his 30s and he’s very cool, and one baby Frank (Francis)

Frank is brilliantly elegant - short, sharp, and swish. It is a standalone name that doesn't need to be short for anything, Francis is rather 'meh' as far as I am concerned.

It's an incredibly ugly and harsh sounding name. Yet for some reason every second Mumsnetter seems to be obsessed with it or Francis at the moment.

Francis as other posters have said with nn Frank

misslomi · 21/03/2023 18:42

Love it!

Would go for Francis though so can be shortened to Frank/Frankie.

It's a nice name

I dislike it unfortunately 😥But I love Francis which could have the nickname Frank.

FASDE1517 · 21/03/2023 18:41

Love it. I quite a few (I'm a teacher). It's very lovely though.

Not a fan of it. Makes me think of a large, bald heavily tattooed man from the east end

PlumberProblems · 21/03/2023 18:40

Yes I know a Frank. He is 2. I think it suits him. A classic.
