Idk why but I really like this as a nickname, I wouldn't use it as a first name I might use it as a middle name. As long as they're not ginger.

Pros : it sounds unforgettable and is a hard name to be mispronounced.
Cons : when I hear it, I can only think of a fat, old or mid-aged man with big glasses.

I used to like Fred, but started to forget about it once the film "Big Hero 6" came out. However, it's still okay as a nickname for Frederick.

In my opinion this name can be really cute and attractive on a certain person, but on other people it just doesn't work.

Well, Freddie is Eddie's pet frog on Little People.
Also...Fred isn't one of my favorites. It's too nicknamey and bland. Fred reminds me too much of Mister Roger's neighborhood, Scooby Doo, and the Flintsones. Those aren't very bad associations, but still. Frederick is nice, though. Fred would be okay as a nickname for Frederick.

If someone asked me the first person I think of when I hear the name Fred, I would automatically say Fred Jones from Scooby Doo - which isn't necessarily a bad thing! In the tv show, Fred was always good looking and a leader. On the other hand, another Fred kids will think of is Fred Figglehorn, the Youtube character, who is insane.
