Franklin... What do you think?

[cakegoblin]

Just brainstorming boys names and found this at no. 450 - I love Freddie but can't use Frederick so this could be my perfect alternative name, Frankie as a nn would go really well with our surname... What do you think? Means "liberated" apparently.

Mint!!

Like Frank on it's own, why end a perfectly good name by bolting a girls name on the end. (Apologies to FDR)

Reminds me of a tortoise/turtle from that cartoon.....

I love it and wanted to use it if this little one had been a boy.
However I have a son called Marshall and I couldn't have had a franklin too cos of the clothing brand.

Ooh, I would never have made the Franklin Mint association, was more concerned about Roosevelt or that bloody woman on Eastenders shouting "Fraaaank!" Still like it though :)

Franklyn is lovely.

I hate it,but I cannot bear any variation of Frank. I think 'Frank' has such a harsh,ugly sound.

I also am not keen on Frank, but love Frankie, and Franklin is a MUCH better full name for this than Francis imo. I like it!

I had Franklin as one of my boys names.In the end i didnt use it as i didnt love it enough.Fast forward to school and his friend in school was Frankie.

It's my DS's middle name. It's a family name on his dad's side and I wasn't keen to begin with but it's grown on me and now I love it

D. Roosevelt

I really like it.

I like it, I like Frank too.

I like it, mainly because I know a little Franklin and he is adorable.

I have a Frank. Ace name! Love Franklin

I don't like it. Francis is lovely though.

Really nice

My grandson is Frank [Francis] and he really suits it, I think it is a cool name which will wear well.

Love it. I think of Benjamin Franklin when I hear it and he was a total dude.
