Me and DW are opting for Franklin for DS1, shortened to Frankie when small, and Frank when more grown up. However, we would like to know which of these middle names mumsnetters like the best:

Franklin Charles Ovens
Franklin George Ovens
Franklin James Ovens
Franklin Joseph Ovens
Franklin Alexander Ovens

Thanks Smile

Joseph or George

Something plain and classic. You have some great suggestions here.

GirlCalledJames · 10/08/2020 14:13

George

Delanore? ;)

Franklin James was the first thing that came to mind.

Lovely !

MyPetPegasus · 10/08/2020 20:23

Joseph.

Roosevelt?

Sunbird24 · 10/08/2020 20:30

I thought James when I saw the thread title, but everything you’ve got on your list is good! If you like them all equally I’d write them down on bits of paper and pick one out of a hat

timetest · 10/08/2020 20:32

They all sound good together. Of them all I prefer a James.

Elderflower14 · 10/08/2020 20:34

Delano...!

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 10/08/2020 20:38

Neff ?

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 10/08/2020 20:41

Four-Ring-Hob ?

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 10/08/2020 20:43

Self-Cleaning?

I'll shut up now. Wink

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 10/08/2020 20:45

I like James.

Sunshines123 · 10/08/2020 21:47

The 1 syllable options Charles, George and James definitely work best in my opinion and would all be great choices

Tillygetsit · 10/08/2020 22:00

Joseph ❤

SamOvens · 10/08/2020 22:43

@perfumeistooexpensive that isn’t really answering my question.

@Sunbird24 not a bad shout. I’ve taken Franklin Alexander out the running (too many syllables) but we are both now considering Franklin Robert in addition to the other four too.

@WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat it’s always good to have trolls on your thread that don’t want to actually help with the question at hand.

Oh come on OP - that's not trolling, they are just having a bit of fun. Hmm

babydisney · 10/08/2020 22:52

George or James

aprilfools19 · 10/08/2020 22:55

Joseph

SamOvens · 11/08/2020 15:53

@TalkingOutOfMyBottom whether or not you define that as “trolling”, it was off-topic to the discussion. So therefore I consider it rather disrespectful.

Oh they're just having a bit of gentle fun. I'm sure nobody meant to disrespect you! I know I didn't. Flowers

Whatsyourflava · 11/08/2020 17:43

I like James
