When I was working at the archives of the Masons this summer, this was a name that I came across so often it was almost ridiculous. It, along with 13 other names in particular, were definitely the "top names" of the men born between 1880 and 1930 in my area. At the time, seeing it so often made me immune to its charms, but now that some time has passed, I'm reminded of how much I enjoyed it. It was certainly my favourite out of the "Fabulous 14" top names I noted.
What do you think of
Frederick (or
Fredrick, if you prefer)?
