[name_m]Francis[/name_m] is solid and handsome but also unexpected with a hint of ‘clunky-grandpa’ style! [name_m]Frankie[/name_m] and [name_f]Francie[/name_f] are cool too!
[name_f][/name_f]Nobel is intriguing and bold [name_f][/name_f]- do you say it as NO-bul or no-BELL? [name_f][/name_f] I’d probably use it as a middle, though I did know someone with the surname [name_m]Noble[/name_m] who was mostly called that.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Clifford[/name_m] is clunky and unexpected with retro charm, but yeah, the big red dog does lurk in my mind when I hear it. That said [name_f][/name_f]- is it a reference kids these days pick up on? I’m not in tune with what they’re watching/reading atm, so not sure if it could[name_f][/name_f] work among a younger age group?
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Glenn[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I like [name_m]Glenn[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- it feels friendly and outdoorsy
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Wilbur[/name_m] is charming and clunky-cool! Maybe he will actually start liking it, now it’s on his list ;D
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Gene[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I think I prefer Jeane/Jeanine as a middle for a girl over [name_m]Gene[/name_m]. [name_m]Gene[/name_m] looks/feels a bit squishy in my brain and idk why.
