Jack or Frank? Frank would possibly have nickname Frankie

Jack!

Frank isnt to my taste at all and I personally prefer Frankie for a girl even though all the Frankie's I know are boys!

And now I've typed frankie too many times and it doesnt feel like a word anymore haha

I know 3 toddlers called Jack. No Frankies at all.

RoseHarper · 20/05/2020 14:49

Jack. Classic but sounds fresh and modern at the same time. Frank I don't like...prefer Frankie but think it will date.

I have a great niece called Frankie.
I like Jack

@Lavenderblues Yes I think it was in the top names, I don't know any children of either name in real life.

Jack is so so common. Wasn't it THE top boys names for years recently? There must be tens of thousands Jacks out there already.

Frank is more memorable!

pinkpanther84 · 20/05/2020 13:56

Definitely Jack (I have a Jack so I'm biased!). It's a great name and although it's very popular I don't know any other Jacks

FizzyGreenWater · 20/05/2020 13:55

Oh dear really don't like Frank. And Jack is a bit nothing, but I'd have to go with Jack in that scenario.

Gettingonwithlife · 20/05/2020 13:51

Frank or Francis

Spied · 20/05/2020 13:50

Jack by far!

HeimdallSaysNo · 20/05/2020 13:48

Frankie is more hip?

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 20/05/2020 13:44

@ButDoUAvocado I don't know any children with either name! I was worried that Frank sounds a bit old fashioned.

17caterpillars1mouse · 20/05/2020 12:42

I prefer Jack

SnowdropFox · 20/05/2020 12:32

Jack, dislike Frank for some reason.
