Austin, Sidney and Austin!

Rudi doesn't work in English imo - too 'rude'y!

GooooRoooo - We haven't met another one either! Frankie is getting popular, which I quite like - he won't meet many other Franklins, but Frankie will be common enough it won't seem odd. We intended when we named him to call him Frankie, but most often call him Franks, Frankles or Frank.

MyNameIsSuz I've never come across another Franklin! How weird, and nice!

Franklin, Sidney and Stanley were our top three and we went with Franklin, which I sometimes shorten to Frankie.

I like Arthur too but am not keen on Austin, Rudi (rude Rudi etc) or Errol.

In order:

Arthur
Austin
Sidney
Frank
Rudi
Errol

Would only consider the first two, though. Love Arthur, and Austin's nice in a 'cowboy' kind of way! Strongly dislike Errol, and Rudi for some reasons just brings to mind someone who is rude (a bit like calling someone Randy!)

Rudi and Austin. I love Rudi, and my son's name is similar.

Arthur or Rudi, great names!

Yay, I'm loving all the love for Frank, I have a little Frank! Well, Franklin, but it gets shortened to all sorts.

I like Austin too, only one of your names I don't like is Rudi. Can I throw into the mix… Calvin? I think it's lovely, and shortened to Vinnie is cute too.

Austin or Arthur are nice, not keen on Errol Rudi (though I do like Rufus) or Frank.

I love Rudi.. I would have it myself if it wasn't the name of a friends little brother.

Frank is great.

Sidney & Arthur also good.

I like Arthur - be ready for him to get Arfur for several years though. Children find "th" tricky.

The other names are not my taste.

Really like Austin and Frank - I know a toddler Frank, and was a bit Hmm when he was born, but now I think it's great on him.
Arthur is ok.
Sidney, Errol, Rudi = no
