Freddie or Dylan?

I love Freddie (we would put Frederick on the birth cert) but my DH is not so sure. He likes Dylan, which I kind of like, but I feel like Freddie is better! Which would you choose? Middle name will be Stephen, after my Dad.

I'm with Butterfly, I think Dylan Frederick Stephen works well.

We have agreed that Dylan is in the bin - He has finally agreed to Freddie Grin knew I would wear him down

I see that Freddie is the clear winner here! I will go and tell DH, he had been outvoted Grin

I love Dylan - but then I love Dylan Thomas and Bob Dylan.

Dislike Freddie. It's too cheeky chappie, and sounds like a Boden mummy's DC name.

Freddie, dislike Dylan

starkid · 25/09/2017 16:33

I prefer Dylan, but perhaps a different middle name (they aren't terrible together though).

Montsti · 25/09/2017 13:56

I love Freddie nn.Frederick and it would've been no.4s name if she had been a boy.

Not keen on Dylan...

Frederick Stephen

rosybell · 24/09/2017 21:01

Dylan is a lovely name and you don't normally say the first/middle names together. Freddie is nice for a toddler but not sure how well it suits an adult.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 24/09/2017 20:43

Dylan Frederick Stephen...

Sophronia · 24/09/2017 20:36

Frederick nn Freddie

Mrsknackered · 24/09/2017 20:06

Freddie! Love it. And all the Fred's I know are lovely.
I dislike Dylan greatly.

LostwithSawyer · 24/09/2017 20:04

Dylan is nicer than Freddie

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 24/09/2017 19:37

Freddie. I can't abide the name Dylan.
I don't particularly like Freddie, either, but. Its far far nicer than Dylan

lozengeoflove · 24/09/2017 19:28

Freddie. No contest totally biased Grin

DramaAlpaca · 24/09/2017 19:25

Dylan

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 24/09/2017 19:25

Dylan

stopbeingadramallama · 24/09/2017 19:24

Freddie

Boopear · 24/09/2017 19:23

Freddie. It just rhymes so well ..cue endless parental amusement at Freddie teddie beddie (my 10yo Freddie not quite as amused anymore..) but, honestly, it's a great name. Also means King (German origin)

MikeUniformMike · 24/09/2017 19:18

Of the two, Freddie but I really don't like Dylan.

DiegoMadonna · 24/09/2017 19:15

Dylan by a long way.

I don't like it so much with the middle name Stephen, but they're so rarely actually said together.

dotdotdotmustdash · 24/09/2017 18:48

I fear Freddie has become very popular - I only personally know 2 baby boys born in the past year and they're both called Freddie.

I work in schools, most Dylans are naughty.

Smoliver · 24/09/2017 18:09

I don't think Dylan Stephen would work. Freddie Stephen sounds better

Freddie
