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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
