Are there loads of Franks/Frankie’s

[Blokahouse21]

Not keen on Francis or Franklin so would be Frank on the BC which I see as a stand alone name anyway.

However how popular is this name in your area? I know Frankie is not a shortening but would be used whilst DS4 is younger

Siblings all have ‘old man’ names

I know one Franklyn (Frankie)

My son has two in his class, but despite this, I don't think it's particularly common!

Frankie is mainly a girls name round here. I don’t know any Franks. I do like it though.

I only know one.

I have one, know of 1 other in the primary school, both girls

I know 2 both in high school

Probably not loads, but it's not unusual.

Bar in mind that they may be registered under a different name - Frank, Frankie, Franc, Francis, Frances, Franklyn, Franklin, Francesca, Francisco etc

I know one Frank. Great name.

I know one little Frank, he's 11 now.

I know two (10 and 14) although one may actually be a Francis

Judging by posts from people over the past few months I think it’s about to have a massive surge. There may not be too many now but I think the next few years will see a lot of them

I think it's still pretty unusual, I'd go for it. Only know one Frankie, and she's a Francesca and about 12.

I've heard frankie quite a few times near me recently. I prefer just Frank or francis myself and I'm not keen on frankie for a girl i much prefer it for a boy. Does seem to becoming very popular.

I'm Frankie but short for Francesca. I am hearing it a lot now.

I think it’s becoming very popular.

I only know one Frankie, so I wouldn't worry about it being overpopular and I think Frank's a lovely name.

I don't know any. Never met one that I can think of.
