My DS is called Freddie!
Decided not to put Frederick on the birth certificate as it was too long with the middle names.

Reggie as in Reginald? Either way no Confused

Freddie is ok but please put Frederick or just Fred on the birth certificate.

Neither

Jossina · 26/01/2020 22:54

Neither, unless it's Reginald and Frederick.

Kray or Krueger?

Nogodsnomasters · 26/01/2020 22:53

Can't say I like either one, sorry.

@dickdewy I didn't ask people to tell me they don't like them I'm asking people which name they prefer as I will be having one of them but thanks for your opinion :)

Full names on birth cert, shorten to what you like. Prefer Freddie myself.

@dramaAlpaca I appreciate your opinion. Dh wanted Andrew but figured he would be called Andy which he didn't want. It will be one of the 2 above but just unsure which

Freddie here too

DickDewy · 26/01/2020 22:50

Both terrible.

DramaAlpaca · 26/01/2020 22:48

I'm sorry, I really dislike both. I don't like cutesy 'ie' ending names on boys, and Reggie has such an ugly look and sound. Freddie is better, but I'd put Frederick on the birth cert to give him a more dignified name which he might prefer as an adult.

I absolutely love Andrew, though.

@wizzler thank you :) I was a little worried its too similar to Andrew 'freddie' Flintoff as we're having Andrew as a middle name after dh grandad
