I adore Frederica. Fred is such a counter-intuitive syllable for a girl's name. But Frederica is as girly-girl as they get. She dances, she prances, she floats through the room. You have to admire her self-confidence. (Disclosure: Frederica, nn Freda, is a family name for me.)

I prefer the pronunciation of Fredrika with three syllables a tad bit more than four syllable Frederica. But I love the look of Frederica more. Does anyone think that I could get away with a three syllable pronunciation of Frederica? It's not a big deal. It's just on my if-I-were-in-charge-of-the-universe list.
