we both like Frankie as a name for a girl, but don’t know how appropriate it will be when she’s an adult in a formal work setting. We aren’t super keen on Francis. Any other suggestions that Frankie could be a nickname for?
As the mother of a son named Francis, please use the female spelling of Frances if you are going for something more formal than Frankie.
My friend’s daughter has a friend nick named Frankie, after kindergarten she dropped that and went to her full name of Francesca, she didn’t like having a boy nickname. In general I think it is better to give a full name so the child has more options as their personality develops.
