Frederick

[CathyandHeathcliff]

Thinking Frederick Arthur for a boy.
Nickname Freddie or Fred.

Thoughts?

Like it!

I love it. Both great names.

Love it. My 3yo nephew is called Freddy and he’s a delight!

Thanks, the other ones are Frederick William or Frederick Oscar but my DP likes Frederick Arthur best.

I have a Freddie (DS1) but he's Alfred. Word of warning, he's a Freddie Initial because of its popularity!

I really like Frederick Oscar, not heard that combo before, but do like them all.

I quite like it but I would be put off by the popularity. 3 of the 10 boys at dad's nursery are called Freddie. I prefer Arthur Frederick.

Love!

Love Frederick Arthur

I don't hear it that often, I would use the full name Frederick but maybe shorten it to Fred instead of Freddie, I'm not too worried about it being popular but consequently, I don't hear Fred much.

I know two baby Fredericks (Fred and Freddie) and one Freddie with no longer name. One is just over a year old, the other two are young babies. So I think it is becoming quite well used where I live, (near London).

I do think it’s a lovely name though and not all Freddies will be Frederick on the bc. Could be Alfred as above or Wilfred or just Fred / Freddie. So they all have the option to have different names if there are heaps per class or whatever.

I also love it. Lovely name for a little boy and will grow with him.

I think it's great. Just check the initials with your surname. FAB would be fine. FAT would be less good. FAR or FAN or FAE or FAD or FAX?

Our initials would make him FAB

It’s an amazing name, ds1 is called Frederick Charles, as a baby he was Freddie now his friends call him Fred or Frederick or Freddie. The name really suits him!

DS1 is Frederick Thomas. He's either Fred or Freddie as a nick name. I love it.

FAB! Definitely go for it then.
