DP is desperate to call DS1 Frank after a very dear relative, I am more than happy however said I think we should go something more formal on the BC for options later on.
My suggestion was Francis but DP suggestion is Franklin and we are struggling to agree, to me Franklin has a very different feel to Frank whereas Francis is traditional like Frank.
what would you do?

Francis. I am not a fan of Franklin

Fun fact: The discussion was about first names, and Franklin D. Roosevelt was the 32nd president of the US

Ohh, Francisco has a lovely ring to it.
I’d chose Francis over Franklin. Although Franklin’s fine, one of DS’s friends is called Franklin and goes by his full name, rather than Frank.

Fun fact: he was never President, but a Founding Father who signed the Declaration of Independence.
