Similar Names vs. Frances/ Frankie vs. For girl

I loved Frances with nn Frankie for a girl but now I can't use it. Does anyone have suggestions for a similar stroke sounding female name with a nice nn? I think I've looked through them all and nothing seems as good to me so asking for any help! Thank you!

Sorry, stroke was a typo! Just similar sounding, thanks.

Thank you so much, everyone. How kind of you all. I can't use Frankie or any variations. It was a name I had had picked out for a long time as Francis was my grandfathers name but my brother used it for his daughter before I could (he asked permission but I felt I couldn't say no).

I appreciate all the suggestions so much and there are a few I like that my husband doesn't but we will keep thinking on it. Our son is Levi, so a little tough to find something that goes well with that too (I thought Frances/Frankie did; sigh.) thanks again!
