Totally useable. I think of the bull.

---

It was in my top 5-6-7 for ages. I like the nickname Freddie. Nando works also and is fun, if silly.

---

Milo Ferdinand is a good combination btw. Haven't read yours yet but I hope you will use Milo Ferdinand. Mine was Ferdinand Charles Constantino, I liked the solid two C's next to each other and the awkwardness of -o instead of -e. I prefer Constantine now though.

---

Hm I like all yours esp Blaise Constantine Asa Colin Viktor and Dimitri. I also -

---

okay Franz Ferdinand is a great combination okay
okay whatever
I'd use it

I love Ferdinand...

---

...especially because of the band. If you are concerned about the name being difficult to bear, I think it would make a great middle name too.

---

However, I find Ferdinand usable, and my comfort zone isn't that far out of the mainstream.

---

Of your combinations, I like:
Ferdinand Ludovic
Ferdinand Sergius

---

Amos Ferdinand
August Ferdinand
Colin Ferdinand

Wow! I love it and have since we studied Magellan in fifth grade. I love your combos, too, especially:

---

Ferdinand Constantine
Ferdinand Wilhelm
Dimitri Ferdinand
Lucius Ferdinand
Viktor Ferdinand (prefer Victor)

---

I prefer it as a mn, too, which is a shame because I love it to bits. The nickname thing is kind of awkward - I don't like any. But someday, I'm going to get a boy-girl pair of kittens and name them Ferdinand and Isabella. I also like a lot of forms of Ferdinand; Hernan is my current favorite, but I also love Fernando, Fernan, and Hernando. Fernand isn't bad either.

I prefer it as a mn.
It also makes me think of the footballer.

Emeric Ferdinand (I dislike the 'ch' in Emmerich)
Luka Ferdinand
August Ferdinand
Alexei Ferdinand (rather than Alexis)

Well it's one of my cats' names (the other is Magellan . . . witty, eh?), so I probably wouldn't use it (not that I'm against using names that have been used for animals, it's just that this particular name is so uncommon that the cat would *always* come to mind...), but I do quite like it.

---

Amos Ferdinand is my favorite ... I think it flows better as a middle name in general. Though I'm sure there are some remarkable exceptions - I'm just too lazy to try and find them at the moment. And Amos Ferdinand is so very lovely! :P I was also going to suggest Victor Ferdinand, but then I realized you listed that one as well. So, I'm probably not much help.

---

As far as nicknames go, we call my cat Ferdy... but I do like Red, too.

---

I like Ferdinand a lot, but definitely prefer it as a middle name, my combo is Jakob Ferdinand :)

---

From yours I like...

---

Ferdinand Matthias
Ferdinand Wilhelm

---

Alexis Ferdinand
August Ferdinand
Dimitri Ferdinand
Emmerich Ferdinand
Luka Ferdinand
Misha Ferdinand
Sasha Ferdinand
Viktor Ferdinand

---

Nicknames: Fer? Ferdy? lol, I like Freddy the best.
