Twin girl names - Frankie & Ada

Hello! I’d like to know people’s opinion on the name ‘Frankie’ for a girl
we’re currently expecting twin girls and my husband is in love with the name - I’m also a fan, I just would like to know what people think as I’m worried of naming our daughter something either we or she will dislike later down the line

as it stands our current favourites are

Frankie & Ada
(Frankie Rose & Ada Rae)

Thankyou in advance and as always I’m open to any suggestions as naming twins is hard work!

for context we also have an Ellie, Isaac & Reuben

Love Frankie and Ada - I’d go for Francesca officially though

Love the name Ada, how about Edith, Isla or Nola rather than Frankie?

It's just lovely - individually and together.

I have a child with a name that is usually the shortened version of a longer name and I still love it, and have never regretted choosing it over the longer version (which I still don't like 20-plus years on). So many names can be used for male and female, I'd say it just doesn't matter any more.

Well personally, I think Frankie is a great name 😁
And I knew an Ada who was really sweet

I really like the combo of Frankie and Ada. The only thing is that I’d probably call a child Francesca with Frankie for short so she has that choice. Especially as she has so many brothers. People may assume on paper that she’s a boy is all.

Then again, Francesca is a much longer name than Ada so I’m not sure if Francesca and Ada ‘go’ together.

I'm not big fan of Frankie, but completely normal name... I found people IRL do like it more than mumsnet.
