As a nickname would you assume girl or boy?
I would not register as Frankie fwiw

I'd assume girl.

WhatsTheMatterDavid · 06/03/2025 20:01

Girl but probably only because I know a girl Frankie. I don't think it's too swayed either way. Wouldn't find it surprising to meet a boy Frankie unless it was an older man probably.

Ferrazzuoli · 06/03/2025 20:01

I only know one and he's a boy - so I'd assume boy.

HarleyJae · 06/03/2025 20:01

Either. I know both boy and girl.

nocoolnamesleft · 06/03/2025 20:03

I'd assume they were going to Hollywood. But more likely to be male.

17caterpillars1mouse · 06/03/2025 20:03

I generally automatically think girl but dd does have a boy Frankie I'm her class

girl

MumonabikeE5 · 06/03/2025 20:06

Girl, or a little boy.

worcesterpear · 06/03/2025 20:08

I would sway more towards a girl (short for Francesca) as that's the only one I have personally known. If a boy, I would think Frank would be much nicer.

QuartzIlikeit · 06/03/2025 20:12

Girl

sunshineandshowers40 · 06/03/2025 20:20

Both.

LeedsZebra90 · 06/03/2025 20:22

Boy, i do quite like it for a girl but think it is a masculine sounding name.

I’d be saying do you remember me?

shoopshoopdedoo · 06/03/2025 20:29

Girl

Zeldasie · 06/03/2025 20:31

Girl

MyDadLovedBlondieToo · 06/03/2025 20:32

Boy, my great-uncle Frankie was born in the 1920s.

Newyearnewmewoooop · 06/03/2025 20:32

Girl

TheBell · 06/03/2025 20:34

Lovely either way.

TennisWithDeborah · 06/03/2025 20:34

Girl, because I’m currently watching Classic Corrie and the character played by Debra Stephenson is on my screen!

TheFormidableMrsC · 06/03/2025 20:34

I have a female relative called Frankie.

Lavalamping · 06/03/2025 20:35

There are 3 boy Frankie’s in DC’s reception class. So I would think boy!

RaspberryBeretxx · 06/03/2025 20:35

Either. I’d lean slightly towards female but wouldn’t assume.

sel2223 · 06/03/2025 20:35

The Frankie I know is Francesca

JoyousEagle · 06/03/2025 20:36

I would definitely assume girl.
