I'm going to be contrary and say that I really like Beckett!

I like Beckett but it may well get shortened to Bex, Becky.

Fraser for sure.

Prefer Beckett- but the nickname Becs or Becky puts me off

I prefer Beckett. All the Frasers I know are pesky little brats.

Plus the nickname Fraz, is horrific.

Fraser but be prepared for people to say Frasier.
Beckett sounds like Bucket

people will constantly mis-spell and mispronounce it as Frasier - even now when that's not been on properly in years.

Not sure that’s a problem if you happen to be in Scotland. It’s a pretty standard name.

Fraz, is though inevitable.

I prefer it to Beckett though which either makes me think of the murdered Thomas Beckett or of Samuel Beckett and the trauma I endured studying Endgame at school.

I went to school with a Beckett. He was really cool and it was never shortened to anything silly. Fraser is fine too, but of the two I prefer Beckett.
