I went to a christening last week and the child's name is James Frederick. Love both of them, but prefer Jamie to Freddy. Freddy actually puts me of Frederick.

James nn Jimmy, although Frederick is nice too.

James is great and Jimmy is fantastic, I love it.

There are so many Freddies now... It's the new Archie / Arthur!
Go for James. Lovely name. Jimbob is my favourite nickname for James!

James is lovely. Very Classic.

Freddie I dislike, twee and a bit too trendy/now but I do like Frederick!

I prefer James, but nn's for Frederick are far nicer. I don't what it is about Jimmy, i just don't like it at all

Difficult one. James I think

Both are great names, Frederick has more nn potential (but then I would say that, DS is Frederick (Freddie) James...
