Middle Name for Freddie?

Surname begins with M so this is the one where G needs to be avoided.

At least if a name is popular, it means people like it.

Lots of people like it at the same time. People liked Keith, Kevin or Nigel. That simply makes them fashionable at that time but not 'nice' !!

Not another Freddie! There are thousands of names out there and everyone is naming their baby Freddie… why?!

Does not the Fr sound remind you of a frog?

Sorry but whichever you choose as a second name, he will still be another Freddie!

I hear you and part of me thinks this too. Trouble is, virtually all the names we like suffer from the popularity problem. Some even more so. Other contenders have been George, Leo, Oscar and Henry.

I’d much rather one of these than a name which has gone out of fashion and will lead to a lifetime of everyone assuming he is a generation older than he is before meeting him, e.g. David, Paul, Robert. Or a name which isn’t popular because frankly it’s just weird, poncy, pretentious, geeky or downmarket. At least if a name is popular, it means people like it.

I’m quite fond of Ferdinand. Maybe you prefer that?

Or maybe you have other suggestions? Please feel free to list any. I’m very open to hearing of genuinely attractive names which are not popular.

I wanted Frederick for my second (was a girl so couldn't use) middle name would have been Roger.

I personally like a single or three (or four!) syllable middle name after a two syllable first name.

So I'd try something like...
Freddie Luke
Freddie James
Freddie Jude

Or

Freddie Alexander
Freddie Sebastian

Freddie James
Freddie Dean
Freddie Paul
Freddie Michael

If you really want George you could have two middle names? I'd stop at two though unless you're royalty...

IvyDora · 16/12/2022 16:19

Joseph

Freddie Oliver
Freddie Christian
Freddie Xavier
Freddie Lucas
Freddie Sebastian

Call him Alfred as a first name, nn Freddie? Then you can have whatever G name you want in the middle. If he’s being formal enough to use a middle initial then he can use his full name. I think Freddie is better as a nn anyways..

Freddie David
Freddie Joshua
Freddie Jack
Freddie Matthew
Freddie William

so many names work. Do you have any family names?

The family name we really wanted was George but it doesn’t work due to the initials. So frustrating.

All others already taken.
