I liked it when pg with dd..but she didn't have a willy when she was born
I like it a lot

[LiffeyAnnaLivia]

Love it. My son was almost a Frederick. Freddie Flintoff was tipped to win SPOTY though, so I thought it might become the next Jack, but it hasn't risen that much.

I love it. Would have been my first choice boys name if only we hadn't already given the name to one of the dogs. Dh was all for calling ds1 or ds2 Freddie anyway.

[oliviasmama]

GREAT name.

[ateles]

My DS is Frederick...known as Fred/Freddie. I think it is a great name and I'm not at all biased

[Buda]

FIL was Fred and he made me promise that if we ever had a boy we wouldn't call him Fred/Frederick. When DS was born we gave him Frederick as a second name. FIL died before we had DS and DS loves that he is called after him. And I think Fred would forgive me!

I like it.

[BonsoirAnna]

Lovely, lovely name.

[SwedesInACape]

DS1 (soon to be 17) is a Frederick - called Freddie. I think it's a lovely name and he agrees.

BonsoirAnna - I like your name. Isn't Frederic terribly popular in France along with Eric?

[Takver]

Fantastic name, Frederick, Fred and Freddie all fab.

[BonsoirAnna]

Popularity of Eric in France.

Popularity of Frédéric in France.

Both names are of "our" generation and no longer popular. Having said that, DD had a little Eric from her class round after school today.

[CountessDracula]

DD was going to be Freddie
but she was a girl
Love it

[BonsoirAnna]

Frederica is fab, fab name

[CountessDracula]

Yes we did consider it, or just straight Freddie for a girl
However she didn't really look like a Freddie when she was born and by the time I was out of intensive care dh had pretty much decided!

[BonsoirAnna]

I agree, it's a name with a very strong personality, you'd have to have a match with the child.

Still, it would be on my reserve list
