What do you think when you hear the name

franklin

I posted about edison yesterday but it had very mixed reviews which has made me question my choice so it is clearly not the name for ds

Sounds like an American surname. Pop-culture references to $100 bills.

American

Is it your maiden name? If so use as a middle, if not no . Sounds a bit down market. Every good luck with your little boy 💐

Franklin the turtle. Pretty sure it’s a book.

If you like the name use it.

What about Frankie?

I like it.

It makes me think someone is trying hard to be trendy or cool, sorry.

D. Roosevelt.

I like it but then I like surnames as names. My ds has a name that isn’t well liked in mn, but I love it and like the fact he’s the only one in his school.
I also like:
Arlington
Addison
Archer

I prefer Frank than Franklin, love Frankie as a nn.

It makes me think of the 'nerds' on shows like saved by the bell. American geeks with check shirts and big glasses, dropping books and apologising in an American high school..a bit like Eugene

Not forgetting Benjamin Franklin, another famous American!

Benjamin Franklin
Rosalind Franklin who was insufficiently credited for her work on DNA.

It's a surname.

Me too! I have no idea how many years it would take me to stop saying that (in my head)

A mixture of grungey and wimpy. Sorry.

Roosevelt

American, try-hard, but it was still on our list 😄 there’s something about it but didn’t use it because I couldn’t be bothered with people’s reactions - voiced or kept private!

And when I hear Frank I think old man who smokes. Really like Frankie, but think of a girl. So. Tricky one!

Franklin will become frank, which I’ve heard a couple of babies named recently

American and wannabe-cool. But actually quite cute too!

Frank. Yes.

Franklyn. Franklin. No. Hideous.

I like Franklin, I know a Franklin too, about 10 I think, nice boy. I also like Edison, its fab!
