For our DS.
I did love Vincent but pregnancy hormones are playing tricks on me

You’re making this up surely?

Frank and Spencer are bloody terrible. Vincent is nice.

PinkSyCo · 29/05/2022 19:34

Ooh Betty.

There's a whole generation of people who have no clue who Frank Spencer is.

I know a Frank, a Vincent and Spencer, all good names but Vincent and Spencer are probably going to be shortened

@PinkSyCo 😂😂😂😂

Suddenly I feel very old

salharg · 29/05/2022 19:35

I do not see the issue his name would not be Frank Spencer it would be either Frank or Spencer

Seriously!

I love the name Frank, strong, simple, and stylish. However, anyone I have mentioned this name to has responded that it is an old man name, and that Francis is so much nicer. Normally I like soft, almost feminine boys names, so I should like Francis more, but I find Frank far nicer.

I’m not fond of Spencer, nor Vincent and especially Vince or Vinnie.

If you're serious then Spencer is ok. Frank is one of the ugliest names ever.

None of them
Go to the library and get a baby name book and have a re-think 😂

SouthOfFrance · 29/05/2022 19:39

This has got to be a joke?

My friends dog is called Frank and he's lovely 😕

toastofthetown · 29/05/2022 19:42

I don't mind Frank and prefer it to Spencer. Bit confused by the pp who called it 'bloody terrible'. Both Frank and Frankie are in the top 200, so not like Frank is hugely controversial choice. My favourite of the three is Vincent, though I dislike the diminutives for it.

over2021 · 29/05/2022 19:44

I know a toddler Franklin nicknamed Frank - he's cute

I'm not a massive fan of Spencer- I know a couple of adult Spencer's and they are both arseholes!

Fabuleuse · 29/05/2022 19:44

Frank and Vincent are great. Don't like Spencer

AllPlayedOut · 29/05/2022 19:45

Of course he is. He's a dog. They're all lovable. Dogs can make anything cute but it's still an ugly name for a human.

ElenaSt · 29/05/2022 19:45

I love the name Spencer. We have a very lovely friend called Spencer.

The cats done a whoopsie....

I think Frank is a great name for a dog, but not a human!

Spencer sounds like a surname to me.

So, that leaves Vincent as my favourite of your options.

salharg · 29/05/2022 20:10

Frank was my favourite but after reading all these comments. I see it as a solid classic name.
not keen on the suggestion of Franklin

I agree OP, I don’t understand people saying it is terrible and ugly. I could understand dated, or boring, names won’t appeal to everyone, but I just don’t get what people see is so horrible about Frank! But it doesn’t surprise me as I have seen it get a similar reception in the past
