Frederick...

Frederick Arthur
or
Frederick William?

Surname starts with a B

I can’t work out whether the initials FAB are brilliant or a bit silly. But I love all your names, especially Frederick. If it were me I’d play it safe and go with William as a middle name.

@TroubledLichen My partner really likes Arthur! Hmmm I quite like FAB

Frederick Arthur is my favourite. And fab initials...

FAB is great. FWB (friends with benefits) not so much

Frederick Arthur Beathcliff is well FAB. Fab Freddie.

Frederick William is lovely, I may be biased as it was my grandads name but I always liked it. I wanted to name our son Frederick but I couldn't get it to work with our surname!

Well I'm not mad on Frederick, but Freddie is popular so it must be good, and I adore a certain (fictional) Frederick Hugo.
I'd save William for DS2.
Frederick William is very nice.

Frederick William.

I have a Frederick Arthur myself so I may be biased! There are a whole load of little Fred’s around at the moment. I knew when I named him that it’s a fairly common name but they’re absolutely everywhere. Most of them have middle name as Arthur too!

Yes, I'm not a fan of having initials FWB either I would choose Arthur.

You can't use FWB.

I definitely didn’t see FWB as friends with benefits! Definitely go for FAB OP

He’d be Fred or Freddie for short. The popularity thing is the only part I’m worried about.

I have a Frederic William (with a c not a k). Family names!

Always Frederic to me but increasingly Fred to his friends. Never Freddie except for games teachers.

We love it and it suits him very well. Classic and versatile.
