Oh my GOD I love this name! It's good for a boy or a girl, and it's a great nickname for Frank or Francine or something like that. I LOVE IT!

I can’t believe people go to a website to see other people’s opinions, then get unbelievably angry for the negatives.
It’s a terrible name. An okay nickname. I’d never use this even for a pet, but obviously it’s fine if others want to use it.

I LOVE IT. Whether it’s for a boy or girl, or short for Frances or Franklin or even something else. I honestly prefer it as a nickname but I also think it’s cute as a full name. It’s just perfect.

Hi, people that aren't the biggest fans of my name. I am a girl with this name. I'd say I'm the opposite of a tomboy honestly and it's silly to assume what a person is based on a thing people cannot initially choose. I'm sorry if you think we are 'toxic' or something but it makes no sense to be this mad over a name. It's so petty! Personally, I'm 50/50 with my name. For my own reasons, I'm considering phasing the name out and using my middle name or even a variant of the name i.e. Fran, Francine, etc. I want to keep the name alive as it suits me for the person I am, and I'm also named after my nanna. The name isn't common so people against the name should probably tone it down, it's unlikely that you'd meet someone with the name and if they're aware of what you've said about the name they probably wouldn't want to talk to you either! Maybe reconsider what you choose to be petty about :)

To all you “anonymous” people talking $#!t, saying some really messed up things, why don’t you tell everyone what your names are so we can judge you the way you’re judging us? Everyone’s name is beautiful and meaningful to themselves and their families probably, so there’s no need to be ugly and dog someone else’s name just because whatever your reasons are. How do you think all the people named Frankie feel when they read people writing how disgusting it is and they would hate to be stuck with it. Personally, I think it’s old school O.G., Super Italian and gangster and bad ass, so keep your ugly, “disgusting” comments to yourself. Thank you very much….

I prefer this as a nickname rather than a full name, but I LOVE IT. I know a Franklin who goes by Frankie, but I can imagine a lot more names that can have this as a nickname, like Francis, Francois, Frances, and Francine. So cute! One of the best unisex names out there.

Wow wow Wow! I’m disgusted to see how harshly some people react to a name. It’s okay to have an opinion but not okay to be nasty about it.
I first heard a baby girl named this and was taken by surprise. All I could think of was Frank.
Any “ie” “y” ending name can sound feminine so it works. I actually later met an older woman named Frankie and it fit her so well. So I actually like it now (boy or girl), I just had to open my mind.

I hated my name in grade school. I messed with people when they’d ask me what it was short for. Elizabeth! They’d be like waaa? Sometimes I’d tell them just Franki or I’d be like yes what’s the problem? I’m 25 and named my baby Kennedy. I’ve fallen in love with Franki and Kennedy! I have two sisters named Jennifer (mom and dad didn’t know each other then) and the other 10 siblings have basic run of the mill names. At least I have a name where people stop me and say “Oh my goodness I absolutely LOVE your name!”. I hear it at least once a month! You know it’s not the name that makes the person, it’s the person that makes the name. People think I’m funny and crafty. I make friends super easily and I’m great with kids. Actually used to be called Sister Sunshine when I was a teen! TO ALL THE FRANKI’S OUT THERE: be someone that brightens someone’s day! The sunshine to someone’s storm!

... My words can't describe how disgusting this name is! It is one of the most ugliest and toxic names out there! It sounds childish and wimpy for a boy, for a girl it reminds me of some prisoner with tattoos. And shall I go on? The pronunciation is horrible, it sounds like a dying cat to my ear.

I am a male. Sometimes it stinks to have the name Frankie because 2/3 of people spell it wrong. Franky, I think it is a feminine name and Frankie is a masculine name.

For boys it's a good nickname but as an independent name it's ehh.
For girls it's an OK nickname but only for a young girl, once they get into adulthood they'll probably rather go by Fran or Frannie/Franny, but as an independent for a girl no way, and the same goes for Ricki.

To all those with a negative bias to the name Frankie as a girl's name. I'm reading that it sounds too "tomboy-ish", or it would make a "cute nickname but not a real name". You are all SO lucky to have me as your personal, anti-Frankie's-Not-a-Girl's-Name, Myth and Propaganda Buster.
My name is Frankie. Yes, Frankie. Not Francine, Frances, nor Francios. It is Frankie, and yes, I am FEMALE. I was named after my grandma AND my grandpa. To all you scornful haters, my middle name is Jo. So stick that in your pipe... So my name is a double masculine given name, to which, did I mention, I am PROFOUNDLY AND GRATEFULLY PROUD.
Let me describe characteristics of a real Frankie. I am unique, I am intelligent; with an I.Q. of 168. I am NOT a tomboy, however I am adventurous, I am funny with a great sense of humor, and I am ADORABLE, with beautiful red hair, sparkling gold eyes, and an infectious smile. I am a leader, not a follower, however I acknowledge someone other than myself may be better for the job than myself and will follow them. I have an even temper. I am an optimist, I am a dreamer, I am a conservationist, I believe in Obamacare.
I am a female named Frankie Jo.

My name is Frankie and I'm a girl. I love it as a name, its different and unique. I was named after my father cause he wanted a girl ( I have 2 older brothers). Most people remember my name right away 'cause its so different from other girls names. I was a tom boy younger and the name suit me well. Now, 16, it goes along just as good. People always remembered me because of my name. People always think Frankie is a nickname for Francis, Francesca, or fransica.

It irritates me quite a bit that this is more popular than both Frank and Francis in the UK, not to mention used as a full name for girls.

My friend uses this as a nickname for Francesca. It's also my cousin's dog's name... I think Frankie is a cute nickname for Francis, Franklin, frank, or Francesca, but not very good for a given name.

As much as I like the name Frank, I don't care for this nickname. My unfortunate experience with a man who went by this makes it hard for me to picture it on a boy, but it sounds even worse on a girl. Whoever decided that Frankie was a girls' nickname must have been nuts.

It's okay, but it is a bit chavvy... especially for a girl. It sounds tomboyish too.

I think Frankie is a wonderful name :)
Actually my older sister is named Franki (no "E"), and it suits her perfectly, even though she's a "girly-girl" it fits because it's cute. Just like her!

I really like Frankie as a nick-name, although whenever I hear this name, I either think of a teenager wearing a fedora and smoking a cigar or an older guy behind a desk... Too much Godfather, I suppose :)
I'm kind of surprised- no one mentioned Francis 'Frank/Frankie' Sinatra I don't think. :3

I've never really liked this name to begin with, and I just cannot imagine it on a girl; unless she's a tomboy, it sounds too rough, too masculine. As a nickname, fine, but a given name it's just very butch.

I am a girl, and Frankie is my name. No, it's not my nickname. (Almost everyone asks me if it is. XD) It's my real name and I'm very proud of having it as my name. I think it's rather unique for a girl, you know? :3

I hate this nickname on girls. They should go by Fran, Franny, or Francie, not this boyish nickname. The nickname is too immature for guys past the age of 15, so Frank is much better.

I love the name Frankie for a girl - when I think Frankie, I think a strong, independent, smart, but beautiful tomboy. Although if I had a daughter, I would probably use Francine, with the option of Frankie as a nickname, because the tomboy connotation might clash with a girly-girl.

My husband's name is Frankey and I think it's a strong and respectable name, although when you think of Frankey you probably think old old man but not me, I think young sexy marine who kicks butt, I think of my husband. He is a third generation Frank so he has that going for him too.

I think that this is a perfect name if you wanted the Frank name to run in your family. My Grandad (Frank) and I were very close. He died 10 years ago and I think this name would be such a lovely name to include when/if I have a daughter. This will keep the name of my grandad going and it isn't an old fashioned name.
