Our top contender is Franklin. Not Frank or Frankie which I know will more than likely happen at school but whenever I say our top name choice, there are comments such as

‘Frank is much nicer’
’Franklin is a gangster in a game’
’Franklin the turtle’
’Franklin is a surname’

is it really an ugly name? 37 weeks pregnant and want to know if our choice is not as nice as I first thought

It’s a bit late now, but don’t tell people the name before the baby is born. Someone will always make a comment you don’t like.

edit to say - Franklin is absolutely fine, don’t change it because a few people have made comments!
