We've decided on either Zachary Frederick, Frederick Arthur, or Frederick James if Bump is a boy. Zachary (Zack) was originally DP's choice, but now he's decided he'd really like Frederick as a first name (would be Freddie/Fred most of the time). I'm ok-ish with all the names, but don't really love any of them, and I want to give my baby a name I really love!
LN also starts with F, which makes me think Frederick/Freddie doesn't quite sound right as a first name, although it's DP's middle name, so to him it sounds perfectly fine, as he's been used to hearing it his whole life!

Other names we've considered, but gone off a bit:
Benjamin
Isaac
Theodore (DP's cousin just had a baby named Theodore Frederick, so that's definitely out now!)

What else could we name him?

Just tryin to help you see from a diff prespective, I love family names in middle names.
If you love the name Frederick then that should be fine.
A lovely name (Frederick) which goes well and suits many great names.

Frederick Zachary? Freddy Zak sounds quite cool.

Not keen on Zachary or Isaac. I'm not keen on alliteration either so why not just use Frederick as the middle name?

From your list I love

Benjamin Arthur
Benjamin Theodore
Benjamin Frederick
Arthur Frederick
James Frederick

In fact any combination of those names sounds good.
