Help[Opinions] Re: Fraser
in reply to a message by Felie
It's been used in my husband's family for at least three generations, so I'm used to it as a fn.
The first little Fraser got his name in 1916; it was his mn and he never used it, but he gave it to two of his own sons, one as a mn and the other as a fn. Then there's one in New Zealand, in his 20s, and a teenage one here in South Africa. Maybe others somewhere too.
I avoided it when naming my son, because there were just so many in the family already. But it's a very nice name, I think, pleasantly Scottish and energetic, and familiar without being trendy. The only disadvantage is that people shorten it to Frase, which I don't like much though I use it myself sometimes.
