[Opinions] Re: Franklyn for a girl?

You're an evil, cruel woman! ;-)
1. Hm, this was hard, but I think I'll choose Option #3.
The name is a classic with a long usage history, but is either new to your language, or has had significant popularity ups & downs where you live. People around you could guess your age accurately to within ~30 to 50 years, if they knew your name and where you were born.
2. I like the category my name's in. It's unusual without being unheard-of, and has good literary and astronomical associations. People always say my name's pretty. The only downside is that I've occasionally been mistaken for an Amanda.
I don't care how popular a name is, so long as it's classic. I still like Emma despite its popularity, for the simple reason that it's an ancient name with a good meaning and a simple, feminine sound that's very pretty to me.
