Annie - nice.

Not so keen on Fred.

tummytickler · 17/06/2010 16:39

Annie - lovely, really pretty.
Fred - I find Fred sooooo dull. Sorry.

diplodoris · 17/06/2010 17:11

I like both.

KnitterNotTwitter · 17/06/2010 17:17

I'd go for Ann/Anne and nickname Annie if it was me

Fred is quite cool - like it although wouldn't have the confidence to go for it mys

KnitterNotTwitter · 17/06/2010 17:17

myself not mys

diplodoris · 17/06/2010 17:19

Personally I'd use Frederick as full name and Fred for a nickname.

Hedwig3 · 17/06/2010 20:08

Both lovely!

janeite · 17/06/2010 20:11

Annie = nice. Fred = not nice. Sorry.

Yuk to both!

tortoiseonthehalfshell · 18/06/2010 08:41

I like both, but only as nicknames. Anne/Anna and Frederick v. good, also like Alfred. Annie is Little Orphan, and not suitable for a grownup, Fred fine but why not give them a longer name for options?

PenguinNZ · 18/06/2010 08:50

I like both, but prefer Freddie to Fred.

NiceCuppaT · 18/06/2010 09:27

Love Fred
Annie is quite nice, much better than just Ann which is very plain imo.
I know a 60 year old Annie so I think it is suitable for a grown up.

annasophia · 18/06/2010 11:00

Really dislike Fred/Fredrick. Sorry.

Annie is a bit twee, but I love Anna, Arabella or Anastasia.

LaRagazzaInglese · 20/06/2010 00:52

I think they're both really lovely, quite surprised at the few negative opinions tbh thought they were quite popular

ki28 · 20/06/2010 10:54
