Start using Mumsnet PremiumWhat goes with Frederick?
(29 Posts)Hello,
Our first born is named Frederick, (Fred) and we've just found out that our second is also a boy.
I cannot think of a single boys name that I really like (but did have a list of girls)! So am looking for inspiration please.
Thanks!
Eleanor
Beatrice
Betsy
Sidney
Christian or Christopher
Philip
IMO, don't use names with Frederick that sound gaelic or modern/made up. Ewan does not go with the name!
Sidney
Ernest
Walter
Ronald
Francis
Reginald
Leonard
Clarence
Thomas
Theodore
Rupert
Nicholas
Maximilian
Montgomery
James
Christopher
Benjamin
Barnaby
Alexander
Arthur
Thanks all!
Being Danish I can not see Frederick without also "hearing" Christian (the last 20 Kings 19 have been one of the two currently a reigning queen )
I do think Frederick and Christian goes well together.
Connor
Theo
Ethan
Henry
Jake
Louis
Rory
Thomas(Tom)
William (Will)
Was Fred Elliot in Coronation Street?
Elliot! Will add to the list! Thanks x
@summeryet I love Rupert! A good idea
How about miles / Milo
Seth
Elliot
Ewan, Rupert and Theodore are all really nice imo. 
Did you check the initials / make sure there won't be any unfortunate meanings?
@MissHenty it's so annoying, girls names were all sorted!!
Liking Ewan, Rupert and Theodore (Teddy).
Thanks all!

Thanks so much! There are a few great suggestions in here. We generally aren't fans of anything that it super popular, and the surname begins with 'S', so keen to avoid first names with the same initial.

Dominic
Quentin
Raphael
Sebastian
Do you mind about popularity @summeryet ?
Do you have any kind of names you like but can’t use? Want a bit more to go with.
Initial suggestions:
Milo/miles
Rex
Alexander
Felix
Rudy/Rudi
Alexander
Barnaby
