There are loads of little Franks (normally called Frankie) round here (south east London)! Rylan or Kyle are not that nice in my opinion. Aaron makes me think of Aryan race. Graham is out of fashion at the mo.

Kyle and Aaron are both top-100 name in England and Wales, as is Frankie (more than four times as popular as plain Frank). Rylan's at 273, just below Philip and Scott and just ahead of Simon and Victor. Graham is languishing in the doldrums, though.

I know three small Franks. Great name.

Frank is bloody awful. I can't imagine looking at a lovely newborn and thinking I'll call him Frank. It is not an attractive name. It's like calling him Herman.

I know a couple of Frankies. I quite like Frank. Also Aaron, and I don't know any so am surprised to see from this thread it's so popular. Kyle for me is the Michael Biehn character from the Terminator. Not that that's a bad thing. Grin

Rylan is not as unusual as it should be, sadly.

I know children or teens with all the other names, except Aaron.
