Frankie and Stevie are not unisex, they are male names.. and Jamie usually is.

Unless the Mum wants her poor daughter to be misgendered throughout her life, I'd stick with Robyn.

I'd better ring my sister Stevie and let her know.

I adore the name Stevie. I love stevie nicks and wanted to use stevie for dc2, but I wasn't brave enough in the end to use it.

Love Stevie and Frankie

I love stevie.
Not a fan of Frankie
Absolutely cannot stand Robyn , I know both males and females all in Their 30s and I’ve never found it suited any of them.

oddly enough I actually like James for a girl, although I know it’s not unisex, really don’t like Jamie though.

What?! I know way more female Frankies than male ones. Often short for Francesca, Franka or Francia.

Danni is nicer

Sounds like a reality show cast

I know 2 female Frankie's & 1 Stevie.

I like Stevie (though I’d use Stephanie as a full name) and Robyn.

whatsinaname2 · 01/02/2023 20:46

I have a Francesca always known as Frankie. It suits her very much. She's grown up to be feisty and headstrong, and I've only had positive comments this far.
I'm a massive Stevie Nicks fan but don't like it enough to use. Robyn is my next favourite after Frankie.

Was going to suggest Brian, but maybe that's a bit damned united
Bobbie after Bobby Robson (Newcastle United)
Alex after Alex Fergusson (Manchester United)...

Robin or Robyn is best. That little bird is so beautiful.
