My friend is considering this name and I was wondering what your thoughts were on it? Do you like it or do you think it's a bit dated? It makes me think of Victorians...

It's horrid.Far too ugly and harsh to be inflicted upon a lovely newborn. Frances would be ok,but Frank is ghastly.

Lovely- Francis is nice, Frankie is cute. Frank is perfectly fine, but a bit more grown-up, like John instead of Johnny or Jack.

Makes me think of Frank Bruno and Frank Butcher

Love it!

Nice, I like it.

It's a proper bloke's name, not just a little boy's name.

Although Frankie is cute for when he's little.

I like it and was on my list for DS but DH vetoed it

I love the name Franklin, but am not crazy about plain Frank. Although Frank is a cute name for an old man...

RobinSparkles · 07/06/2012 20:05

I like it but it has to be Francis though, and probably Frankie while he is little. Then when he is about 30 he can be plain old Frank! Wink

Frank the tank...no way, awful, sorry.

Frank is a Sloo family name (not short for Frances). It's a great name!

StetsonsAreCool · 07/06/2012 20:23

LOVE it.

I have absolutely no idea why, it's not cool or clever. It's just a bloody good name.

YusMilady · 07/06/2012 20:26

It'sy dad's name. And I LOVE it! Long overdue a revival.
