Is Calvin better? DP prefers one and I prefer the other.
They are very different style names to me and I prefer old man names

I absolutely love Frank. There’s a boy in my sons nursery class called Frank, it’s cool!

Calvin is great, I really like it.

Frank is horrid. It's harsh and ugly.

I love Frank, it's such a cute baby name and then a nice solid man name!

Daisybuttercup12345 · 19/06/2023 22:02

Frank is OK. Calvin awful.

EllaRaines · 19/06/2023 22:53

Frank is fine. Calvin is awful.

Why are people saying it's harsh and ugly? Maybe it's your DH 🤣

I think it's lovely, especially Frankie for a toddler. It's soft but strong.

Because it is harsh and ugly imo. The "Ank" sound is hard and unpleasant not soft at all. Plus it sounds like a dodgy nightclub owner or loan shark.

Not too keen on Frank. A bit harsh

Mumof1andacat · 20/06/2023 00:21

I like Francis with the option of frank
