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

Harris is awful. Really chavvy.

Rosco (no E) is ok, but really belongs on a dog.

Franklin is just too surnamey.

I quite like Harris and Franklin. How about Harrison? I know a couple of Harrisons. Or Grayson?

They’re all good names. Naming trends evolve over time and these all fit perfectly with this generation of boys - they’re not massively “out there” and they sound cool and well-known but not overused. All three have good, familiar sounding nn’s he can use if he likes (Ross / Harry / Frank).
(As for the surnames as first names objection - I know people with the surnames James, Thomas, Mark, John, etc…)

Not keen on Harris - 'Arris is cockney rhyming slang for arse! Maybe I'm just of a certain age and grew up in a certain area though...

I think they are all terrible I'm afraid.

If your DH hates them then you'll have to find a compromise anyway, so it doesn't really matter what we think.

Franklin is lovely and so are the shortened versions Frank or Frankie.

Harris makes me think of Rolph Harris. Don’t do it.

I don't like any of them.

I quite like Franklin, and I think Harris and Roscoe and okay.

I'm not sure how we'd define a normal name, but Franklin at least has been used as a not that unusual given names for centuries, I've seen plenty of records with the name. I think Harris has as well. Not so sure on Roscoe.

Other names that are also surnames: Garrett, Fenner, Lachlan, Hallam, Emmerich, Curtis.

I like Harris.
Roscoe is ok.
Not keen on Franklin.

Harry, Frank/Frankie or Ross would all be better alternatives!

I don’t like any of them sorry. And Harris just made me think of someone I don’t care to be reminded of. Sorry.

All 3 are horrible

Harris is popular here in Scotland. The other two are really awful - sorry.

I love Harris but we're in Scotland & it's overused here.

I do think Roscoe is awful, sorry. Like pp it just makes me think of the Dukes of Hazard dog.

Franklin isn’t my cup of tea, but I’ve heard worse.

I quite like Harris, but that’s because I know a couple of lovely ones.

They aren’t great.

Harris - surname
Franklin - surname
Roscoe - is it even a name?

Roscoe just reminds me of Sheriff Rosco P Coltrane. I suppose that’s dated but it doesn’t sound like a real name. Franklin is slightly better.

Franklin is ok

I knew a terrier with one eye called Roscoe

I’m with your husband

Flash

Yeah pretty much

I like Franklin could have plenty of nicknames from that, not keen on Harris or roscoe

Sorry OP our labrador is called Rosco (without the ‘e’) I think it’s an often used name for dogs.
