Which name do you like? I don't like names that are too popular

They're so different to each other! Petra I think of as classic and Frankie as cool. I love both!

MitzyLeFrouf · 11/06/2016 22:49

Well I like them both!

I like the ice maiden quality of Petra and I like the friendliness of Frankie.

Frankie if it's short for Frances. Otherwise Petra.

Frankie but only if it's from Francesca or Francis. Personally I don't like Petra, even though it's a girl name it jusy feels harsh. Like a headmistress.

Petrova is nice with nickname petra if you had to...
Francesca is nice with nick name frankie if you had to...

Frankie OK if a nickname for Francesca or Frances (which is one of my favourite names). I don't like it as a girls name in its own right.

I do think Blue Peter when I hear Petra but it is a nice name.

Petra! beautiful :)

Merd · 11/06/2016 18:11

Petra is lovely Smile

I always wanted to end up with a Petrova and Posy, like in Ballet Shoes not Pauline though sorry

I think Petra is nice. To me sounds like a Petra would be intelligent and sophisticated x

Kevinthefruitbat · 11/06/2016 18:09

I like Peta rather than Petra.

Vixxfacee · 11/06/2016 18:08

Frankie is better although I dislike both.

  • how
SuburbanRhonda · 11/06/2016 18:07

His have you ended up with a list containing just these two names?

pinkmagic1 · 11/06/2016 18:05

Petra is lovely.

sonlypuppyfat · 11/06/2016 18:04

Awful sorry Frankie if it's not a nickname is really ugly, and as above petra is a dogs name

mumgointhroughtorture · 11/06/2016 18:04

Petra is awful and Frankie isn't much better but it's your baby not ours .

GoldPlatedBacon · 11/06/2016 18:03

I adore Francesca but I can't stand Frankie. I like Petra though

chuckieegg2008 · 11/06/2016 17:59

Frankie

RiverTam · 11/06/2016 17:43

Neither!

IoraRua · 11/06/2016 17:34

Petra by a mile.

Tiggeryoubastard · 11/06/2016 17:30

We must, Drama, but it was very popular off the tv as well. I knew a few.

Iknownuffink · 11/06/2016 17:30

Frankie.

DramaAlpaca · 11/06/2016 17:29

Tigger you're remembering the Blue Peter dog! I decided not to mention it, but it was my first thought too. We must be of the same vintage.

Tiggeryoubastard · 11/06/2016 17:27

Frankie is awful. Petra is a German Shepherd Dog from the 70's. There's nice names out there. Choose one of those.
