Frank

[Helpamamaout2788]

What are your thoughts on this name? It is top of my list but DH is taking some persuading. He thinks it is already too popular

any other suggestions?

Love it. Timeless, strong and I also like Frankie as a nn.

Really cute. I know one.

I like it but would use Francis “Frank”

I have a 10 year old Frank (Francis). I get so many compliments on it!

It's fine.
Your DH doesn't like it though.

As a short for Francis, fine.

Can imagine it would actually be super cute on a little kid, and grow with them as well.

Would use Frank on the birth certificate. I didn't know it was linked to Francis till i read this thread. Not a fan of Francis.

That’s such a cool name!

Love it! I have a Franklyn - his nicknames are Frank / Franks / Frankie

Love it because I had a lovely uncle called Frank.

We have a Franky. I really wasn’t keen on the name when I was pregnant and he had no name for a couple of days. I always hated the idea of him being called Frank and it sounded old. Now that’s mostly what we call him and it suits him so much and it’s such a strong name.

I like it. And I don't know any at all in our area, so it can't be super popular.

My grandad’s name. His first name was Francis but he was always called Frank. Lovely classic name.

Love Franklyn!

Love it as it was my dad's name. Never came across one in 40 years of teaching.

Definitely due for a revival.

Love it

I have a baby grandson Frankie. Franks x

I have an 18 year old Frank, I loved it as he was literally the only baby Frank I knew (named after his grandad). Seems to be way more Franks around now so selfishly I say call him something else ;-)

Frank is lovely, prefer it to Francis and would just go for Frank if that’s what you will mainly call him.

I love it. It’s timeless but cool without being pretentious. Works if you’re posh or not posh personally I like the full name Francis as i think it’s quite elegant? But just Frank is also great

Love it, but not so keen on Francis so I'd go for standalone Frank!

Is it really popular now? I have one (5) after my Grandad and only met one older girl and one young boy called it so far! Guess it’s due a revival as part of the grandparent name trend though :)

Baby name explorer - Frank

Slightly more popular in 2025 (#186)

Frankie is more popular.

My grandad was never ever called Francis, maybe when he was younger.

His brother Fred was always called Fred or Freddie, never Frederick.

sorry but the only reply I can give is “Paaaaaat!”
