Our top contender is Franklin. Not Frank or Frankie which I know will more than likely happen at school but whenever I say our top name choice, there are comments such as

‘Frank is much nicer’
’Franklin is a gangster in a game’
’Franklin the turtle’
’Franklin is a surname’

is it really an ugly name? 37 weeks pregnant and want to know if our choice is not as nice as I first thought

No one (unless they are very rude) will comment on your choice of name once the baby is born.
I don't love the name Franklin, but you may not like my choices that is just how it goes.
My first thought was the turtle, it was on tv when my kids were small I think, who are now all in their 20's.

If you love Franklin, then go with it and don't worry about what anyone else thinks.
