Francesca nn Frankie is lovely. Frankie on its own soesn't give her an "serious" options when she's an adult.

2010mae · 04/03/2010 21:51

No I like just Frankie.

I love Frank for a boy.

Frankie for a girl is good if she's called Francesca. Give her the option to choose what she's called, I reckon.

My friend has a Frankie Mae....kinda agree with Francesca and frankie as a nn.

BlueBumedFly · 04/03/2010 22:02

still love it, Mae is the second name right? Not a double barrel? My DD's second name is Mae.

I wouldn't go for Frankie May, it sounds a bit Shiloh Pitt IYKWIM

2010mae · 04/03/2010 22:07

no not double barrel.

I like Mae spelt this way best. May looks like a word

Yup, we were with DD's name as XXX Amelia until I was in surgery and we suddenly settled on Mae, but the Mae West way of course.

ilovepiccolina · 04/03/2010 22:14

Sorry meant Mae, was a typo.

Have a good friend with a "Frances" known as Frankie to all her mates. Frances is my mum's name and one of dd's middle name's. An Irish family , and mum occasionaly gets/ or has got called "Francie"but usually her full name is used by all. As an aside her full name is actually Mary Frances...... She is the eldest of nine (including half-siblings) and has a sister called Mary.too. Think my granny was running out of ideas!

Francesca yes, just Frankie no, it is a nickname.

I know a Francesca Mimi which I think us pretty, Mae seems to be everyones middle name at mo!

Frankie is a really cool name for a girl. Brings to mind someone who knows their mind and is a bit intimidatingly cool Excellent choice!

If you don't like Francesca, then Frances would be another alternative, and Frances Mae sounds very nice. Frankie is too nickname for me - doesn't give many options if she doesn't feel like a Frankie when she is a bit older.

Francesca also gives her the choice of Chessie.
