You know, I used to hate this name. I thought it sounded ridiculous and stupid and then all of a sudden I started finding it cropping up all around the place and found myself saying it in full to myself. Now I really like it. My main issue with it is that Fred or Freddie seem kind of inevitable and I still hate them. I think they sound dopey and are far more suited to a droopy looking dog.

Frederick is very handsome and strong and I like how it looks on paper.

i totally agree

i hate the idea of Fred or Freddie.

But Frederick is handsome.

I used to live with a Karl Frederick and I always thought it was a nice name for a middle name.

I know what you mean

I sort of always shuffled this name to the middle so I could use the full stately Frederick and avoid Fred. But then another poster reminded me of Fritz as a nn possibility. And now I am appeased :)
