Carson or Franklin

[Panther263]

which do you prefer or neither?
please be honest I do not know if my pregnant mind is playing tricks on me.

I prefer Franklin, but I don't care for either. I do like Frank. I think Carson is not attractive to me.

Sorry but I really don’t like either.

I don't like either but if forced I would pick Franklin becauset it can be shortened to Frank which is nice

Sorry, neither. I like older names though.

Neither. I really dislike the 'surnames as first names' thing.

neither, sorry!

How about Cameron?

Same. I'd go for Francis, can be shortened to Frank.

Neither, but Franklin at a push.

all I can think of now is Frank Carson.

Carson just makes me think Edward Carson...not great. Frank is nice?

Franklin

I know an adorable little Carson.
I don't know why Franklin makes me think of a turtle? Must be on a kids tv program or something.

I dislike both. Sorry.

I always think of Carson as a girl's name because of McCullers. I don't know why Harper has caught on. But not Carson. She was fascinating and I still weep reading The member of the wedding. Franklin is okay. But a bit President Roosevelt. I'm a bit scared of American presidents currently. Francis and Frank for short is still nice, I think. Or are you actually looking to name him after Frank Carson? In which case, just do the Beckham place name thing and call him Blackpool?

Neither.

Was about to say exactly this!

I don't like either sorry.

I think there's a cartoon Franklin, it sounds cartoony to me.

Carson is somehow neither here nor there, it's not a strong name but is trying to be quirky. It's a bit wet.

Going against the grain with a vote for Carson

Neither. Frank is OK.

Franklin

Franklin is a protagonist from GTA V....

Carson is American and a surname...

They're both stupid names, sorry.

Franklin is my favourite. Carson isn’t my usual style of name but would fit in well with the names of young boys round us.

Not a fan of either tbh.

I think there are nicer “surname as first name” style names out there personally, but of the two - Franklin, no contest. Franklin at least has some cool historical namesakes, although it will like be shortened to “Frank” very quickly (which isn’t my cup of tea personally).

Neither. But then I don’t like surnames being used as first names.

It's the way they tell 'em @JustCuttinAboot
