Frankie Joe

[Bubblemachiene]

For a boy? Yay or nay OR
Frankie - Jo

Very hillbilly-esque

I much prefer Hank(ie)-Joe

Can picture lil ole' Frankie Jo with a Reed sticking out his mouth and playing the banjo.

Possibly cute as a 2 year old but not so cute when he's an adult.

Awful. Hyphenated names always are.

Not my cup of tea. Think he will probably be labelled as a trouble-maker. Sorry.

Can we just stop double-barrelling first names?

But is Frankiejo any better?

Joe is fine, no need for Frankie and double barrelled first names are awful imo

Let's also add 'using two names as one'

No, double barrelled names are only for the French. He sounds like a brand of frozen pizza.

It’s a no from me.
I agree with the poster who said it sounds like an American chain restaurant.

Clearly in the minority here but I like it!
I wouldn’t hyphen though and would use full names. Known as Frankie to you.

Franklin Joseph would be my pick.

but I don’t hear Frankie Joe as hillbilly at all, it sounds like a swing name to me!

He is either a gangster or a rodeo clown.

But I assume you live in a three-bed semi in the UK. Not New Jersey or the Appalachians.

Really awful

No

Brother to Wanky-Ho maybe?

Oh it's just terrible! I beg you, please don't

Awful .
People will take a view on him before he even walks in the room .

I've an uncle Frank, middle name Joseph. They're both lovely names and Frankie-Joe is cute, but I can't see it carrying through to adulthood. (He would of course have lots of options with his name as adulthood approached though.)

It sounds like he comes from a trailer park in Mississippi.

I love Frankie for a girl but not for a boy for some reason.
I’d just go with Frank Joseph

It’s very unisex! Too much unisex for my liking. Sorry!
And I find -ie endings very babyish

What about Banjo? That way you avoid the double name

I like it and can't see anything wrong with it

Essex, surely?
