Re: Fred
in reply to a message by Ottilie
Frederic. I prefer it without the k; I had a relative with it spelt that way, nice old retired legal dude with lots of good stories. I would probably team it with some dull-but-sturdy family name, but for some reason Frederic August just popped into my head, perhaps because you've mentioned it before? I like it.
Fred is fine, it's comfortable and friendly.
Other Freds:
I kind of like Manfred and Winfred, but I'm not sure they'd be great names to have if you were an actual boy.
Alfred I prefer in full, but Fred for it might be a nice way of avoiding Alfie which is tooth-gratingly awful imo.
Wilfred is handsome, but also a bit limp somehow. Wilting Wilfred.
