I'd go for Ann/Anne and nickname Annie if it was me

Fred is quite cool - like it although wouldn't have the confidence to go for it mys

Personally I'd use Frederick as full name and Fred for a nickname.

I like both, but only as nicknames. Anne/Anna and Frederick v. good, also like Alfred. Annie is Little Orphan, and not suitable for a grownup, Fred fine but why not give them a longer name for options?

I like both, but prefer Freddie to Fred.

Love Fred
Annie is quite nice, much better than just Ann which is very plain imo.
I know a 60 year old Annie so I think it is suitable for a grown up.

Really dislike Fred/Fredrick. Sorry.

Annie is a bit twee, but I love Anna, Arabella or Anastasia.

I think they're both really lovely, quite surprised at the few negative opinions tbh thought they were quite popular
