Our little boy is here!

Our sweet little boy [name]Frederik[/name] [name]Carl[/name] was born February 19th at 6:42pm! I want to thank everyone here for all the feedback and help in deciding on his name. We went back and forth a lot, but in the end I am very happy with our choice. He joins big sister [name]Louisa[/name], who is very proud of her little brother!

Thank you all again for your help during the naming process and good luck to all the expectant and new parents! :slight_smile:

[name]Frederik[/name] is a great name! Congrats!

[name]Louisa[/name] and [name]Frederik[/name] – perfect! Congratulations and wonderful name.

[name]Ah[/name] congratulations! Gorgeous combination x

Very handsome and underused name! Congratulations!

Congratulations on your baby boy! [name]Frederik[/name] is a very handsome name!

Congrats!!

Congratulations!

Congrats to you on the safe arrival of your son, [name]Frederik[/name] [name]Carl[/name]. A very distinguished name.

Congratulations! You’ve chosen wonderful names.

Congratulations! [name]Louisa[/name] and [name]Frederik[/name] are lovely together.

Congratulations! [name]Frederik[/name] [name]Carl[/name] is perfect and with [name]Louisa[/name] - such good names!

[name]Frederik[/name] is lovely! Congratulations! Your sibset has a Sound of [name]Music[/name] feel to it! Adorable but just wondering if you were a fan and it was deliberate. Congrats again!

Congratulations on the arrival of [name]Frederik[/name] [name]Carl[/name]! What a great name and it goes so well with [name]Louisa[/name]. All the best to you and your family!

I agree - congratulations!

Thank you all so much! It’s so nice to get positive feedback about his name, and even my family has been surprisingly positive about it! Or at least I haven’t heard any negatives. :slight_smile: We think [name]Frederik[/name] is a perfect complement to our little [name]Louisa[/name].

That’s an interesting point, and no, it wasn’t deliberate. I am not very familiar with the film, but isn’t the brother [name]Friedrich[/name] instead of [name]Frederik[/name]? Either way, I’m sure it won’t be the last time we hear the “Sound of [name]Music[/name]” reference. We heard it a few times after [name]Louisa[/name] was born too. :slight_smile:

:slight_smile: yep, you are right with the spelling [name]Friedrich[/name]. It just had that feel to it - but i think i have seen the movie about 1000 times! I think the sibset is lovely. Plus, I have a soft spot for [name]Freddie[/name] and would have loved to have named my son [name]Frederick[/name]! Husband vetoed it though. Enjoy this wonderful time!

Congrats! [name]Frederik[/name] is a great name! [name]Louisa[/name] and [name]Frederik[/name] are perfect together

Congratulations! [name]Frederik[/name] [name]Carl[/name] is lovely, and [name]Louisa[/name] and [name]Frederik[/name] are so perfect together. Can I ask why your choice in spelling? I thought I remembered you posting about [name]Frederick[/name] with the “C”–I’m just curious. :slight_smile:

All the best!

Thank you so much to everyone! Regarding the spelling, we decided to spell it the Danish/Northern [name]German[/name] way for a couple reasons. First of all because my husband is [name]German[/name], and we live in Northern Germany. The “[name]Frederik[/name]” spelling is much, much more common here. Secondly, my husband also has a Nordic name, and we thought the “[name]Frederik[/name]” spelling fits better with his name.

I know it will be tough for my American friends and family to get the spelling right. So far a lot of people have spelled it wrong. But in the end we liked the spelling without the C better. :slight_smile:
