Jack or Frank? Frank would possibly have nickname Frankie

I know a few young Franks and Frankies but no Jacks so I’ll say Jack.

@babycakes1010 Lovely! Is his full name Frank, or will he always go by Frankie?

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

Jack

HeimdallSaysNo · 20/05/2020 13:48

Frankie is more hip?

Spied · 20/05/2020 13:50

Jack by far!

Gettingonwithlife · 20/05/2020 13:51

Frank or Francis

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.

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
