Help[Opinions] Re: Frank
in reply to a message by Amoret
I had a grandfather named Francis, who was always called Frank. His mother was named Frances and called Fannie.
Francis called Frank was on my list of possible names for a son, but my husband didn't like it so it fell off the list. My best friend at the time commented that she thought Frank seemed fusty, and I can see that, so I kinda let it go.
I don't think it's all that unattractive and old anymore though. I can picture Frank on a teenager pretty easily. More easily than I can picture other potentially (more imo) fusty old-man names such as Walt, Ernie, Art, Bert, Gene, or Larry. It's about like Fred or Howie or Al - on a kid, it could seem cool. Although it might not, depending.
I think if you do have this half-brother and you meet him, you might end up changing your mind about the name Frank. Or you might not. Depending!
