Are all my boy names awful???

[Saversmel16666]

Please be honest; husband thinks they are

• Harris
• Franklin
• Roscoe

i am aware they are surnamey names that seems to be my style

Yes, they are dreadful.

I don't particularly like them but I've heard worse.

I like Roscoe, but don't think I like it enough to use it. Harris is OK, Franklin I don't like, but can admit it's not bad name.
My favorite out of your list is Roscoe, but I do like it. I just like other names better.

I’m not keen on Franklin or Roscoe.
I like Harris and know a couple of wee boys with that name.

I’m not keen.

Roscoe = dukes of hazard for me.

Harris is a popular name here

Yes they are awful sorry. What’s wrong with normal names that are actually names?

No they are not dreadful. I wouldn't blink if I was introduced to a child called any of them. Nor would I use them myself but they are not dreadful

I like Harris and Rosco not with an e but it doesn't matter what other people think, it's your child and people's opinions on mumsnet really aren't important.

Not my cup of tea! What does your Dh like?

Dukes of Hazard for the last one. Franklin is the name of a famous preacher and avid Trump supporter. Harris is a tweed.

I like Harris & Rosco. Not keen on Franklin.

Yes, they’re dreadful. But that’s just my opinion and what does it matter to you? Babies grow into their names, I promise!

Harris is meh and the other two are awful. Nobody grows into a name like Roscoe.

I actually love Franklin

Me too!!! What was the fat Bassett Hound called? Perhaps OP could go with that. Think it was a girl though.

Harris is okay. Do you like American-sounding names? If so, I think there are better names out there.

I know a greyhound called Harris and a spaniel called Roscoe. Franklin used to be our coal merchant's surname. Not names I would choose for my boy.

They're not the worst I've heard - they fall into the category of I'd find it hard to not show my opinion if a potential grandchild name. But you can't use them if you can't agree.

Sounds like a firm of solicitors

I like Harris and Franklin. Not keen on Roscoe.

All awful. Call him Tom, he'll thank you.

I'm usually on the 'dreadful' side with last name/surname type names, but I actually quite like Harris and Rosco (prefer no e). I don't like Franklin. Rosco would very likely be shortened to Ross though, which I'm not so keen on.

Roscoe is awful unless you’re some breed of hound dog, in which case it’s perfectly acceptable. Particularly if you are a variety of coonhound in the American South, such as Georgia (or so I imagine 😂).

Harris and Franklin are fine I guess. He could always go by Harry or Frank.
