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

Oooh, Aaah. No missus, - I think of Frankie Howerd...

(Although perhaps not an issue today as he died in 1992)

Girl

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 09/03/2025 07:41

Either! I know both.

SemperIdem · 09/03/2025 11:29

Either, but I prefer on a boy.

Whoarethoseguys · 09/03/2025 11:33

Either girl or boy.

boysmuminherts · 09/03/2025 11:35

Boy as one of my sons has a male friend called Frankie. Could be either though.

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.

It's quite a common name for older men.

I’d be saying do you remember me?

Me too😆

MaggieBsBoat · 09/03/2025 11:39

Equally either. Which is unusual I think.
Cool name.

Enko · 09/03/2025 11:41

Boy for me. I've known 2 never any female Frankies.

Longma · 09/03/2025 11:42

Boy.

I've taught a few boys called Frankie but no girls with the name.

LadeedahYadaYada · 09/03/2025 11:42

Do you remember me?

Frankie is such a common nickname for Francesca

I've taught a number of girls called Francesca. If they have t used the full version their shortenings have been Fran or Franny.

purplehills32 · 14/03/2025 20:20

i’d assume girl

LauderSyme · 14/03/2025 20:22

My first thought was girl. It's cute.
