[Opinions] Frederica?
I spotted the combo Lydia Frederica today and thought it a bit of a stunner.
Is Frederica (nn Rica) too stuffy to use?

I like it, although I do prefer Frédérique and Fred/Freddie as a nickname.
Frederica, nn Rica, is far from stuffy, imo. I think it has a sultry edge, actually, while still sounding intelligent and classy.

I know a Frederica who is 20 and goes by Freddie. I think it is a bit stuffy or complicated, but if you use a nickname than it's fine (I don't like Rica though, sorry!).
Not too stuffy at all! It could be pretty darn cool, actually. I think nn Rica is really neat.
On a sidenote: I also like Dominica, nn Nica.

I am besotted with Frederica

I love the sound of Frederica, whether you use four syllables, "fred-er-EE-kuh" or three, "freh-DREE-kuh." I love that a "fred" name can be made so frilly and feminine. I love that it's a family name for me, with the frumpy-chic Freda as a nn. Rica is cute too. Frederica is bouncy and happy, yet refined and elegant at the same time.
How do I love thee, Frederica? Let me count the ways. Oh, I just did.
My stock combo is Anne Frederica, as an homage to Jane Austin's "Persuasion." Lydia Frederica is lovely as well.

It is a bit of a stunner! And I like both Frederica and Rica. Pretty, not stuffy.
