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

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

If child/older I would assume girl. If toddler/young child I would assume boy (in line with the trend for Alfie/Stanley type names).

I love it though, and wouldn’t be surprised either way.

MakkaPakkasCave · 06/03/2025 20:36

I’d assume TOWIE…sorry!

Purplecatshopaholic · 06/03/2025 20:38

Girl, as I know one.

MelonUsk · 06/03/2025 20:43

A boy, same bracket as Reggie, Vinnie etc,
Not much style to these sorts of names. I think they will date

BeyondMyWits · 06/03/2025 20:45

Girl or Italian/American gangster...

@Justwanttocomment same.

Frankie is one of the few genuinely unisex names to me - I think I’d slightly lean towards girl but wouldn’t assume so at all.

TheEllisGreyMethod · 06/03/2025 21:37

Definitely a boy.
But I work with the elderly, so have a lot of male Frankie's which is influencing my opinion

Bigearringsbigsmile · 06/03/2025 21:37

Girl

TheUsualChaos · 06/03/2025 21:39

Either but prefer it for a girl.

CarpetKnees · 06/03/2025 21:50

Boy

PiastriThePastry · 07/03/2025 07:07

Boy, for all that I know it can be either, I have never actually met a girl Frankie… but lots of little boy Frankie’s!

Zeldasie · 07/03/2025 07:10

Frankie is such a common nickname for Francesca

Jessieshome · 07/03/2025 09:47

Girl, any Frankie I have known has been short for Francesca.

HappydaysArehere · 07/03/2025 10:01

Frank Sinatra! Quite like the name.

Emanwenym · 07/03/2025 11:12

'says Relax'. I'd think unisex name.

LeopardsANeutral · 07/03/2025 11:36

Girl

FormerlyPathologicallyHappy · 07/03/2025 11:40

I’d think girl. Blonde, wearing leopard print and drinking pints.

WaltzingWaters · 07/03/2025 14:07

Either. It would be a 50/50 for me.

YourAmberFawn · 08/03/2025 22:09

Girl

Dueanamechange2025 · 08/03/2025 22:15

Either, I know a couple of both boys and girls.

Sassybooklover · 08/03/2025 22:24

I know two Frankie's, one is a girl and the other a boy. In all honesty it's a name I'd associate with Frank, so a boy's name but I have heard Frankie as a nickname for Francesca too.

MinnieCoops · 08/03/2025 22:41

Girl

GiddyCrab · 08/03/2025 22:47

Dog. Since we have one.
