What would you think?

Expecting DS imminently.

Have a DD with a traditional ‘old ladies name’ (think Florence, Edith, Evelyn, Lilian-it’s along these lines)

I really like the name Franco for DS but worried it doesn’t ‘go’ with DD name-also he is likely to be blonde and fair with a fairly traditional English surname. Does this matter? Also considering Franklin and just using Franco as a nickname.

Oh gosh please don't call him Franco. That's almost as bad as being named Hitler!

Mussolini, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Pinochet....

I don't think Franco is a great idea.

Franklin is much better. Besides general Franco- have you seen trainspotting???

I like Franklin nn Franco!

I really like Franklin. I just asked ds19 his thoughts and he said ‘They will call him wanklyn in school’.......

Yes, Franco would be really strange for a blonde, white child with a traditional English surname.

Given the negative connotations I don't know why you'd use it as a nn either tbh. Frank or Frankie is cute.

Love Frankie , if that's another consideration?

My mind also went straight to general Franco.
