I really like both, but prefer [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]. I like the nicknames [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] and [name_m]Rick[/name_m]/[name_u]Ricky[/name_u] (though I don’t care much for [name_m]Fred[/name_m], which is why I probably won’t ever use it)

I love the nickname [name_u]Freddie[/name_u], but as full names I prefer [name_m]Edward[/name_m]. While I feel like [name_m]Edward[/name_m] doesn’t need a nickname, I prefer [name_m]Ward[/name_m] to [name_m]Eddie[/name_m].

I prefer [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] in full, but Ted/[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]/[name_m]Ned[/name_m] over [name_m]Fred[/name_m]/[name_u]Freddie[/name_u].

Definitely [name_m]Edward[/name_m]! I love it as a full name, and also the nicknames it provides. I like [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] but not [name_m]Frederick[/name_m].

I have both of these on my shortlist, so it’s a tough call! I ultimately chose [name_m]Edward[/name_m] - if I had a baby boy tomorrow, I think Ted/[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] would win out over [name_u]Freddie[/name_u], but just barely!

Haha, this is my husband’s name pitted against my son’s name. I’m partial to [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], of course. :slight_smile:
