Fred or Ralph

[scratchandsniff]

Ralph or Fred (Frederick on BC) - which do you prefer?

Ralph

Ahhh that is the problem with Ralph but I figure it's a generational (is that a word?) thing and wouldn't be known by his peers.

My sister has a Ralph..... and a Fred!
I'm sure that helps. . Fred is more usually Freddie or Frederick ( French speaking country)

Cric is that a good smiley or a poor kid smiley?

I like Fred better by miles

I prefer Ralph. I'm not a fan of Fred at all but I must be in a minority as there's loads of them around here.

I love my Fred !

As a PP mentioned, as much as I like Ralph, I do think of Judy Bloom.

Or early teens in their best polo shirts reeking of Lynx!

It was a good smile!!! I like the name!

Ralph

Frederick is just great!

Ralph is ok too

I like Ralf

Love Frederick, Ralph is nice too. Both lovely names.

Fred - Ralph always sounds wishy washy I've probably been watching the Simpsons too much

Fred

I prefer Frederick.

Frederick is my favourite. it was on my shortlist at one point but seems very popular now.

Ralph made me think Ralph Lauren as DH used to like this make when we first met!

You're asking what to name a dog right? Either is very suitable for that

They sound like names that you can burp. Maybe just because I had a relative who always used to burp the name "RaaaaaAAAAAaaalph" in a most disgusting and belchy sounding way every time he needed to do a big burp... Childishly, I always found it hilarious. Sorry.

I prefer Ralph.

I don't think most kids nowadays read much Judy Blume, I've personally never heard of it. I think Ralph is a great name!

(R)Alfred?

I know twins called Ralph and Fred .

Ralph is a slang term for throwing up though. I am the Judy Blume generation, but my immediate reaction to Ralpg is "throw up".
