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

Franklin reminds me of GTA V (Grand theft Auto game) it's one of the main characters 😂 it's an extremely popular game. he's a bit of a gangster

I know a 50 year old Franklin, I like it.

I quite like it

Much much better than Edison

I'm not usually a fan of "American surname" names but I actually love Franklin.

Sesame Street generation hears a muppet singing:
"Roosevelt Franklin baaaahhh
Elementary School!!"
But if you immediately nn Frank then go on.

I'd assume they were American (or parents were). The people it conjures are Benjamin Franklin, Franklin D Roosevelt and - wait for it - Freewheelin' Franklin, the druggie hippy from the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. 🤣

Frank is good, and Franklin is not.

Light bulbs

It makes me think of Franklin Mint, purveyors of questionable collectibles.

American trailer park.

I wouldn't use it as I don't like Frank or Frankie which it'd probably get shortened to.

Yep.

Same

Like others, I think: D. Roosevelt / American / surname. I’m not keen on it and I don’t like Frankie as a nickname for a boy.

On the other hand, I love Frank!

I prefer Edison.
Both seem American.
Franklin also reminds me of the Franklin River.

Franklin reminds me of the cartoon that used to be on TV, he was a turtle or a tortoise I think?

Old American man

Edison is much nicer!
