[name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering, as I’m a long way from having kids but seeking feedback on similar-sounding names on my list. Would you favor [name_u]Francis[/name_u] ([name_u]Frankie[/name_u]) or [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] ([name_u]Freddie[/name_u])?
I prefer [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] over [name_u]Francis[/name_u] and [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] over [name_u]Freddie[/name_u]. So I guess I’m not much help. 
[name_u]Francis[/name_u] with the [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] nickname. I love it. My sister’s name is [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] and she goes by [name_u]Frankie[/name_u].
I prefer [name_m]Frederick[/name_m].
That’s a difficult one. I love [name_u]Francis[/name_u] and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]. But right now, I’m really, really crushing on [name_u]Francis[/name_u], although I’m not a fan of [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] (they just feel like the names of two different people to me), and slightly prefer [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] :p. But [name_u]Francis[/name_u] it has to be at the moment :).
