Re: Frank
It's okay. I seriously considered naming my son Francis (it's a family name and I like it) and I'm sure he would've been called Frankie and eventually Frank - since I don't think Francis was butch enough for my husband to call his son. I got a lot of negative feedback from almost all the people I suggested Frankie to.But, I dunno. I think I feel about Frank the same way my husband feels about Edith - that it's just a little too unfashionable-seeming for our family to pull off, or to want to pull off. I don't think that is true of Edith, but my husband rejected it saying it seemed like a "statement" and Frank seems *almost* like a statement if I called my son that. Didn't quite sit right. The sound of it is sort of ugly and blunt, to me, so much so, that it feels almost self-consciously so, if it were my own son. It feels almost pretentiously unfashionable, if that makes any sense. I think it'd be decent and likable on someone else's boy, though.
