Francesca. I like Frances though

I like Frances.

I always think of Frankie as short for Francesca.

Francis is the masculine version, my son is nn Frankie. Frances is feminine.
Francesca?

Frankie would also be acceptable in its own right but I do love the longer versions

My daughter is called Francesca but we all shorten it to Frankie or Cesca. Frankie suits her perfectly! She’s a little sweetheart but with a mischievous side!

Frances is beautiful

The Frankie I know is just Frankie. It's a lovely name in its own right imo

Frances is feminine. I prefer Francesca though.

Frances ''Frankie'' Heck
Francesca ''Frankie'' Bridge née Sandford
a propos of nothing, I do like Cesca as a nickname. I also taught a Fran.
(Just a warning I guess that your DD might not go with Frankie at all when she gets to school age!)

DD’s friend Francesca is called Frankie by her friends, Cesca by her mum. Full name is gorgeous too.
