I am returning to nameberry after a long hiatus. I am due with #2 in [name_u]March[/name_u] and have begun looking at names. We will not know the sex of the baby for a few weeks. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter is [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f].
The only name my husband and I can agree on for a boy is [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]. And we don’t have a middle name. If we can’t think of anything we like better, we will use my maiden name which is Opel (pronounced the same as [name_f]Opal[/name_f]).
What are your thoughts on [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]? Nickname options? Middles (bonus points for botanical names)?
I love [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]!! [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] is so cute
I think [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] Opel sounds nice!
Frederick [name_u]Florian[/name_u] (bit F heavy but I love [name_u]Florian[/name_u])
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Larkspur[/name_u]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Alder[/name_u]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Hawthorn[/name_m]
I had forgotten how great this community is at brainstorming! I love so many of the combos that you have suggested.
Frederick [name_u]Alder[/name_u]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Larkspur[/name_u]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Sycamore[/name_m] (so cool)
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] (I loved [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] for so long)
and seeing [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] Opel written out actually gave me chills. It may be the one. Thanks so much for your feedback
