I like Frankie for a boy Francis or girl Frances, but prefer it for a boy.

---

Bobby just sounds too funny. The word association with "bob" as a verb meaning to bounce up and down doesn't help.

I prefer both for boys.

---

I love the nickname Bobby for Robert on a little boy, but I'm not fond of Bob at all. Rob is nice I guess.

---

Frankie doesn't really appeal, nor does Frank but I adore Francis.

Both males, Robert and Francis. Eh, they're okay but dated. Nice classics, though.

Bobby and Frankie are definitely male names imo. I'm not exactly a fan of either name tbh. The full names I'd like for them are Robert and Franklin or Robert and Francis.

Bobbi for a girl; not short for anything except possibly Robin. Bobby is okay as a nn for Robert for a boy. My little nephew is often called Bobby, though Valerie calls him Bobert.
Frankie is annoying. On a boy it sounds like a hoodlum, on a girl it sounds hipsterish and/or phonily tomboy. I do know a very nice male ferret named Frankie.

I prefer both as male names, although I know a few female Frankies. I quite like them both but I wouldn't use them myself.

---

I don't really like any of the full name options. I suppose, if forced, I would go for Robert and Frank, but I don't like them much.

Bobby I've never really liked, I think just because it's been so overdone. It might be nearly nice to think of on a little boy nowadays, but not quite yet. I've only ever preferred it on a boy, though, always really disliked it on a girl.

---

Frankie I think is cute though, for either gender, as a nn for Francis or Frances.

Fine as nicknames.
Bad as full names.

---

Frankie on either (as a nickname, strongly dislike as a full name on either)
Bobby on a boy.

---

Francesca for a girl, Franklin for a boy. (Frances/Francis (girl/boy) also an option)
I guess there's only Robert? Can't come up with anything else. So yeah, that. Not a huge fan, but I prefer Robert nn Bobby to just Bobby.

I love Robert "Bobby" for a boy, and would use it IRL. I don't like it on a girl. On a woman it seems... stale.

I find Frankie to be generally a whiny name on either gender, but I guess I'd prefer it on a girl. Nickname for Frances or Francesca.
