Depends if you are full naming them Alfred and Frederick. If they are just Alfie and Freddie on bc, or only one has the full version on their bc then I think they're fine (and lovely) names.

Thanks bringmewine it would be just Alfie and Freddie.

They can both be nicknames of the same name, so I'd say no

Do you have any other names on the shortlist?

I like Freddie and I think it's cute with Alfie, just wondering....

They are fine if Alfie isn't Alfred.

Peace, other names I like are Frankie or Finlay!

Yes as long as they aren't both short for Alfred!

Frankie and Finlay are also really nice and go well with Alfie too.

In fact Alfie, Freddie and Finlay were all on my list (although I'd have used long forms on bc and then shortened) so we obviously have similar tastes! Love F-names.

Go for Frankie - it's particularly fantastic with Alfie as his big brother!
