As a nickname would you assume girl or boy?
I would not register as Frankie fwiw

Do you remember me?

😂😂😂

LauderSyme · 14/03/2025 20:22

My first thought was girl. It's cute.

purplehills32 · 14/03/2025 20:20

i’d assume girl

Frankie is such a common nickname for Francesca

I've taught a number of girls called Francesca. If they have t used the full version their shortenings have been Fran or Franny.

Longma · 09/03/2025 11:42

Boy.

I've taught a few boys called Frankie but no girls with the name.

Enko · 09/03/2025 11:41

Boy for me. I've known 2 never any female Frankies.

MaggieBsBoat · 09/03/2025 11:39

Equally either. Which is unusual I think.
Cool name.

WhatsTheMatterDavid · 06/03/2025 20:01

Girl but probably only because I know a girl Frankie. I don't think it's too swayed either way. Wouldn't find it surprising to meet a boy Frankie unless it was an older man probably.

It's quite a common name for older men.

boysmuminherts · 09/03/2025 11:35

Boy as one of my sons has a male friend called Frankie. Could be either though.

Whoarethoseguys · 09/03/2025 11:33

Either girl or boy.

SemperIdem · 09/03/2025 11:29

Either, but I prefer on a boy.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 09/03/2025 07:41

Either! I know both.

Armadillosparkle · 09/03/2025 07:39

Girl

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 09/03/2025 07:36

Oooh, Aaah. No missus, - I think of Frankie Howerd...

(Although perhaps not an issue today as he died in 1992)

GiddyCrab · 08/03/2025 22:47

Dog. Since we have one.

MinnieCoops · 08/03/2025 22:41

Girl

Sassybooklover · 08/03/2025 22:24

I know two Frankie's, one is a girl and the other a boy. In all honesty it's a name I'd associate with Frank, so a boy's name but I have heard Frankie as a nickname for Francesca too.

Dueanamechange2025 · 08/03/2025 22:15

Either, I know a couple of both boys and girls.

YourAmberFawn · 08/03/2025 22:09

Girl

WaltzingWaters · 07/03/2025 14:07

Either. It would be a 50/50 for me.

FormerlyPathologicallyHappy · 07/03/2025 11:40

I’d think girl. Blonde, wearing leopard print and drinking pints.

LeopardsANeutral · 07/03/2025 11:36

Girl

Emanwenym · 07/03/2025 11:12

'says Relax'. I'd think unisex name.
