It's alright I guess, but if he went by the full name and not
Frank, it would seem nerdy to me.
I think
Franklin sounds almost diminutive, like
Wilkin or
Colin. Maybe also because it reminds me a little of the -lyn names,
Carolyn Marilyn Rosalyn etc.
I'd much sooner use
Francis on a kid, if I wanted him to be called
Frank.
