I agree with your DH - Franklin

Chevrotains · 09/08/2023 12:36

I agree with you, Spencer, but Franklin would be 2nd

MerryChristmasToYou · 09/08/2023 12:38

Not keen on any of them. Spencer or just Frank are probably the best.

  1. Spencer - love love love
  2. Franklin - very cute, but sounds more like surname as first name than Spencer which I’m not as keen on (despite them both being)
  3. Maddox - fine
  4. Travis - nope, just makes me think of Travis Scott

@Midgely23
I'd go with Spencer too

RuthW · 09/08/2023 12:43

Franklin my a mile

SirenSays · 09/08/2023 12:45

Travis.
Franklin sounds like a turtles name 🐢

Kaamos · 09/08/2023 12:47

Spencer

Travis

Wheb you say Favourite is this names you both like but that one is your favourite. Or is this names the other doesn't like.

As if you don't like Franklin and dh doesn't like Spencer we are left with Travis and Maddox. Of those I prefer Travis as its unusual but known.

If you like them all I prefer Spencer but I will say compared to the other 3 it's safe .

Franklin

Rivermedway · 09/08/2023 12:51

Maddox - haven’t heard this name before. Assumed it was a girls name.
Franklin - ok
Travis - really like
Spencer - dislike, only because of poor association with a Spencer who was a cocky so-and-so (once asked whether I fancied him, and was surprised when I said No). I’m sure there’s lovely Spencer’s out there.

Franklin. Don't like Spencer or Travis (Perkins)

JaneJeffer · 09/08/2023 13:12

I don't like any of them. Francis would be much nicer than Franklin.

Theoldwoman · 09/08/2023 13:57

Franklin

or better still

Francis

SurroundedByDramaQueens · 09/08/2023 14:00

I like Franklin and Spencer, not so keen on Travis and dislike Maddox.

Mumofgirls2017 · 09/08/2023 15:45

Spencer or franklin

WanderingWitches · 09/08/2023 16:00

I don't like any. Franklin at a push.

Strokethefurrywall · 09/08/2023 16:11

Spencer -100%

Olika · 09/08/2023 16:11

Love Franklin

mum1527 · 09/08/2023 16:12

Spencer

continentallentil · 09/08/2023 16:47

Franklin - it’s nice

The rest are pretty awful (sorry) - Spencer is an 80s estate agent

babysharkdoodoodedoodedoo · 09/08/2023 17:18

Love Spencer. Franklin is okay. Maddox and Travis not good in my opinion.

Mummy08m · 09/08/2023 17:21

I instantly think of marks and spencer- does no one else?

Of your options I'd go for Travis. If you like -is names, I prefer Jarvis or Curtis

fullbloom87 · 09/08/2023 18:08

I only like Spencer the rest sound like dog names.
