Drew Barrymore has welcomed a second daughter, named Frankie. Her first is named Olive, which is personally one of my favourite names, but I don't care for Frankie that much. I thought it was a boy when I heard the name.

WDYT?

I like Frankie as a nickname for Frances/Francis but not as a stand alone first name. It just doesn't age well.

I don't mind Frankie as a nickname, but I HATE nicknames as given names.

Heh, I kind of like them both together. Neither I would use personally though, but at least they aren't strange names.

I chose that name for my female cat, but I did so because she has a little mustache-like squiggle under her nose. I'm not keen on it as a human name.

I don't like either name individually but I LOVE them as a sibset.

I'm friends with a Frankie whose 25, its his full name, I prefer it as a nn. Every other time I've seen it used it's always been girls. Not into Frances but Francesca nn Frankie would be lovely.


Olive is NMS while I love to eat olives I dont get it as a bb name. I'm not a fan at all of the food related Sage, Hazel, Saffron, Coco, etc

As a sibset I agree they are good together

I love boy names for girls...but not this one. :( BUT I have a bad association with the name too considering my 7th grade exboyfriend punched a tree....well...a hilarious and silly association.

Yeah not a fan of Frankie. Must have some personal association for Drew though.

Olive is cute. Isla Fisher's first daughter is also named Olive I believe.
