Frankie for a girl?

[YesNoMaybee]

I for a long time have loved the name Frankie as a girl's name. Some people have said if they saw that written down they'd think it was a boy?

I don't really mind it appearing as a more gender-neutral name. To me it sounds like the name of a strong independent woman, but I think I'm getting ahead of myself there

What do you think of Frankie for a girl?

I love it. It makes me think of a confident girl with a strong personality. Probably because I love the character Frankie in Wentworth.

I would definitely assume it was a nn, whether male or female, for Frank, Francesca or Frances.

It's incredibly ugly on a boy or girl. It has such a harsh unpleasant sound.

You could have Franca. I know an Italian Francesca who is called Franca for short.

It's lovely but only as a nickname.

I like it. Prefer it as a nn for Frances though.

Not keen sorry

I love it for a girl but don’t like it for a boy.

I know a Frankie, she is an adult but stunning looking and really cool so that's how the name seems to me. Her actual name is Francine.

Love it. Considered it myself.

Awful. I know a Frankie and she is known by another name entirely.

Please give her a proper name like Frances or Francesca and use Frankie as her everyday name.

Girl or boy, it instantly makes me think of Manky Frankie from Still Game.

Love it

I don’t like it at all. Reminds me of that Frankie Cocozza

It's my dogs name and she's a girl.

I love it as short for Frances

Frankie Cocozza 🤣😂 random reference of the day! I'm sure he would be delighted someone remembers him!

I think it's cute As an independent name, I don't like it as a short form of Francesca. That's a harsh name for a child.

As a shortened version of frances, francine fracoise or francesca. Not on it,s own. the trouble is if you give a shortned version someone wil just legngthan it and she will have to keep telling people thats not her name. (I know Vicki who kept having to tell peole her name wasn,t Victoria.)
