Too old man for a baby?!

[Midgely23]

My DP wants to call our DS Frank after his grandad. I have had some positive comments but mainly negative. Is it too harsh / old man for a baby?
I do not like Francis or Franklin so it would be just Frank or pick a different name but my DP has his heart set on Frank

Only in your opinion 😂

FFS. The whole bloody point of the thread is to ask for opinions and that's mine. Likewise it's only nice in your opinion. I'm apparently not alone in thinking that it has a harsh ugly sound either judging by the comments.

I had a boyfriend called Frank when I was 17/18. He’d be 62 now. He hated his name. His middle name was Ambrose, which is worse.

Love Frank. There's a famous one with my surname or else I'd use it.

I've never considered it an old man name, like Sidney, Malcolm, Walter etc.
Frank is a good name.

Bough, Bruno or Lampard?

It's Boris Johnson new baby's name

Not my taste but it is popular at the moment and likely to get more so now Boris has used it. Frankie is a softer option for a babe.

Good solid name. I know a 13yr old Frank and an 18yo Frank.

Ah, but grammatically you weren't giving your opinion you were stating what you believe was a fact...

I shall swan off to Pedants' Corner now 😂

Gallagher!

@ShitImPregnant , had to look him up, but I also missed Gardner.

I quite like Frank, though I would probably call the baby/young child Frankie. I'd use Frank on the birth certificate though.
