Francis

[Timotaylor]

i have been put off the name I have selected for DS due to several negative comments, I know you should never share names before children are born I have now learnt the hard way.

my husband will not entertain any other names as we were both so set on this name but now I really want to change the name before DS is born

Tbh I think its a lovely name. Every Francis or Frances I know is lovely or extremely clever!

Francis is nice and it has the great short options of Frank or Frankie if you / he like.

I like it. Frank is popular.

Francis is a great name.

I prefer Francis to Frank, and would use Francis as a middle name.

It's a lovely name, don't let other peoples opinion bother you 😊

I love Frankie.

Francis is a great name!

Don't tell people about the name beforehand. And if you do, try not to care what they say/think.

It’s a nice name and getting more popular - I’d stick with it. But saying that your husband can’t insist

It's fine to change your mind. There are no rules.

Gorgeous name.

If you have gone off the name shelf it- it won't get better once the baby is here. If one parent becomes a no then the name is gone. Even more so considering you have to do all the growing and birthing. I think your DH is wrong to pressure you or refuse to reconsider your options.

Love it and also love Frank and Frankie

Just change your mind.

Can DH cope with Francis as the second name instead?
