Sorry about the late reply.
Franke. Hmm. It doesn't sound Faroese, since native Faroese words never end with -e (the Faroese cognate is -i). So, the surname is probably Danish.
Someone asked for a Faroese dictionary:

However, it's not free. I haven't checked it properly, but I doubt that the fee is that high.

i keep hearing like [t3ui3], which to me sounds like þrír.
