I really love Frank. It's a great name, Frankie is more a girls name but I do know 1 man named Frankie.
Francis makes me think of a girl, so I'm choosing Frank

There are three boys named Frankie in my immediate area. I like it 😊

If you’re name is Angela, you can use all three.

I like Francis. Dislike Frankie.

One of my names is Frances. It's my mums name and she shortens it to Frankie so for me it's a girls name.

My grandad was Francis nn Frank

I prefer Franklin shortened to Frankie. I dont like Francis personally,

Joolsin · 20/10/2020 17:18

Confusingly, I don't like Francis or Frank, but love Fran and Frankie.

Francis is a great name and Frankie fir a small child and Frank for an adult are lovely short names.

Swearwolf · 20/10/2020 22:59

Definitely prefer Frank. What about Franklin?

tombliboozey · 20/10/2020 23:35

I prefer Frank and don't think having a C or K starting surname with it sounds odd at all. Would still consider using Frankie as a nn (know it's lengthening the name) with Frank on BC. I do know a Francis who is always known as Frankie. Have to admit when I heard what their name was I did think to me that's a girls name and would. Ever call a boy that but have heard it used a bit more recently and know I hear a lot of people on MN say they like it on a boy so seems to be being reclaimed for a boys name in current trends.
