HelpRe: Bobby & Frankie
in reply to a message by Ottilie
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.
