Do you like this name? Is the ‘Lin’ an unnecessary extension? Is it a surname as first name?

please help my husband loves it but I am not sold on it just yet. I prefer the simplicity of Frank nn Frankie

I like it

Losttheplotsometimeago · 24/09/2023 19:52

I'd be worried people thought I was an FDR fan.

DuchessOfSausage · 24/09/2023 20:17

Frank is fine, the lin ruins it.

NuffSaidSam · 24/09/2023 20:24

I like it, but I prefer Franklyn.

I like Francis as well.

LulooLemon · 24/09/2023 20:25

No

I think it's cute. There's a Franklin in the Peanuts comics and I always had a soft spot for him.

DuchessOfSausage · 24/09/2023 20:31

Franklyn is awful

Vexxa · 24/09/2023 20:54

I love it.

Same

Absolutely love Franklin but dislike Frankie. Franklyn looks very American.

Berlinlover · 24/09/2023 23:00

I’ve always loved it.

theduchessofspork · 24/09/2023 23:00

I like it - Franklin nn Frank or Frankie

garlictwist · 25/09/2023 00:37

It makes me think if We Have to Talk About Kevin as it's the dads name in that. But I appreciate that's quite niche.

RuthW · 25/09/2023 07:45

I like it.

peaceinourtime · 25/09/2023 13:56

Franklin will be a Frank which isn’t an exciting name anyway. It’s rather plain, boring and middle aged.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 27/09/2023 00:17

Frank or Francis is much nicer.

MariePaperRoses · 27/09/2023 02:24

I prefer Franklyn.

Fallingthroughclouds · 27/09/2023 02:27

I quite like it. Screams Roosevelt though.

The "ank" part makes me think of wanking.
