I have a Francesca who is always known as Frankie, so really I'm looking for something that goes nicely with Frankie.

I really like Penny but DP has vetoed it because Frankie and Penny sounds like Frankie and Benny's! Grin But I feel like Frankie and Penny have a similar vibe as names.

I don't love anything else, but am considering:

Elsie (Elisabeth)
Josie/Joey (Josephine)
Georgie/Jorgie (Georgina)
Margot

I also love Beatrice/Bea, Madeleine/Maddie and Matilda/Mattie but DP says no. I like Isabella but can't use it for family reasons.

I'd love some suggestions for good names to go with Frankie. We're at the 11th hour now and still stuck.

Thanks for all the replies, some interesting and useful suggestions here.

Frankie and Georgie. I think you need another unisex name. Frankie may not thank you for giving her sister a more feminine arguably prettier name.

This an interesting perspective, as I'd been worried about having two unisex names, in case it seemed a bit like I had really wanted a boy. What I loved about Frankie/Francesca is that to me, the name Frankie has a bit of attitute and sounds fun, spirited, but with a longer, feminine alternative if it didn't suit her or she hated it when older.

I vote Josephine NN Joey. But I love typically boyish names on girls and think Joey is nicer than Georgie.

Biased but this is my name and my sister's name is Georgina so I'd say that's my favourite 😂

Dorothy?
Eliza goes lovely with this name maybe with a longer middle name if on its own or could be short for Elizabeth
