I like this name, but I am biased. One of my great great grandfathers was called Frank (François, but exclusively called Frank), and he has such mythical status in my mind that it gives this funny little name a lot of magic.

Frank was like a Disney princess. Tragic backstory, poor as a church mouse, a true love lost, evil family, mother was the outcast local folk witch, and all that. He loved animals and could charm the birds out of the trees. Had a deer as a pet. Impossibly strong, like some kind of backwoods French Canadian Paul Bunyan. And, he was beautiful. I come from funny-looking people, I'll readily admit it, but every once in a while a perfectly beautiful child pops up and we all say "ah, here's Frank again!" Because they look just like him, just beautiful.

I like Frank!
