Can't help with Frankie or Willie...but: Francis and Marion are male (one uncle, one grandfather) Frances and Marian are female (both are aunts) My name, Kay (also spelled Kaye, Cay) are interchangeable in gender as I've met all spellings listed both male and female. My sister is Kim and the male head of household, next door to us is Kim. There are more than these, but in my family I am satisfied with knowing who they are.
