I prefer George but I see I'm in the minority!

StrangeOrJustInconsiderate · 07/08/2019 13:11

I prefer George too!

DramaAlpaca · 07/08/2019 13:23

I normally like classic names but I'm not mad on either of these. Of the two, I prefer George. Mainly because I really, really dislike Freddie.

Frederick or Fred (not Freddy)

George sounds so pudgy.

Fréderic looks French

Frederick looks German and English

victoria0132 · 07/08/2019 14:23

Frederick - never seen it just with the c looks like a typo to me!

AdaColeman · 07/08/2019 14:30

If you spell it Frederic, it will seem like an error, and he will spend his life correcting the spelling of his name, especially with officialdom.

George, dislike Fred (which he'll become)

Penelopevain · 07/08/2019 17:43

Don't think he will become Fred. I know two little boys who are Freddie. Never known as Fred!

George. I really dislike Freddie and Frederic even more so- sorry.

user1493494961 · 07/08/2019 19:02

Yes, little boys will be Freddie, I think an adult would become Fred. I know a teenage Freddie, his friends call him Fred.

sandyfoot · 07/08/2019 19:09

I remember good advice I had when naming my kids. What would the name sound like in the top of a CV? Both names I like but as adults not sure they work so well and you'll have no control over what a Freddie gets called, that's down to his mates

yikesanotherbooboo · 07/08/2019 19:17

I quite like Fred but not Freddie and would use Frederick for 'long'.
Freddie is a bit of a 'silly ass' name to me .
George is a steady name but I have never taken to it.
