WDYT? I don’t mind Frankie but would probably just use Frank. Brother to Ada

I know a 4 year old Frank and he's just Frank. It's a lovely name and suits him very well

I like it. DP was very keen on Frankie for our DS but I preferred Freddie (and preferred fred to frank). Sometimes I wonder if we chose the wrong name though as i think when hes older Frank would actually be quite cool like the 4 yo pp mentioned.

Love it.

JemimaTiggywinkle · 06/06/2021 06:14

I like it

I like it! I always liked the idea of two boys called Frank and Jim but DP wasn't keen.

@MumChats My friends little boy is Fred and that really suits him! I’d have considered that too otherwise

I really like it, but would use Franklin or Francis on the birth cert.

Violetlavenders · 06/06/2021 09:36

Frank is nice.

But I really dislike Frankie.

like Frank and Ada!

frankie not so much

I'm not keen on Frankie because it reminds me of the awful Sister Sledge song. Plus Frankie often gets used as a nickname for Francesca.

RubyFakeLips · 06/06/2021 09:44

I have a Frank.

Obviously love it, sometimes do call him Frankie.

Don’t believe in all this birth certificate nonsense, he is just Frank.

I have a Frankie (named after a family member) who much prefers Frank. Wish I had just called him Frank as it actually suits him more. Since having him, I am surprised how popular Frankie is. Frank is a great name!

I like it

Boston - you could change it by deed poll

Mrsmophead · 06/06/2021 09:53

Frank is a solid name. Am delighted to see it making a comeback.

It's one of the ugliest names ever. I do not understand the appeal at all.
