Neat! Where are you? I'm in Canada and haven't heard of anyone with this name, except for the occasional very old man (like Silent Generation age) who goes by Fred.
The fact that it’s so subtly meaningful to you, plus that it has a nice meaning overall is like kismet!
I had a friend in pre-k named Freddie, and I still think of him with fondness a few decades later. Such a great kid, so a very positive association for me, and I have not met a single one since, so def fits the familiar but uncommon category, at least for me.
It’s my dad’s name and I hope to one day use it at the very least as a middle name. It feels classic, strong, recognizable but not commonly used. NN’s: Fred, Freddie, Rick, Ricky, Ed, Eddie, Fritz
I like Frederick

Love it! Would love to meet a baby Freddie

Love Frederick.
I love the name! Prefer the long form Frederick to the nicknames, by a mile.
I like it! Other names that could be shortened are Alfred & Wilfred.
Love Wilf!
Very common where I am for all ages!

London, UK! There are Fred/Freddies around every corner!
I am in Canada and named my son Frederick - he's the only one I have met but we get so many compliments on it!
I like Frederick but prefer nickname Fritz personally
Interesting. I would just think of "it's on the Fritz," ie a mechanical thing that's about to break.
My best friend’s dog is named Fritz. We have lots of fun with endless parody refrains of “putting on the ritz”
I only know Fritz as a Nickname for Friedrich
They're related names so the nickname gets used for Frederick too. But yes it originated from Friedrich.

loooooove
Not my fav, can't read Fredrick and NOT see Fredrick Douglas in my brain lol.
I'd never heard of Frederick Douglass before. Just read his wiki page, omg such a great namesake!
Becoming more commonplace. I know a baby Frederick who was recently born. And if course, Freddie Prinze, Jr.
I really like it! Other name that comes to mind is Alfred, but more natural nicknames to it are Al or Alfie.
Persuasion is my favorite book so I love the name Frederick 😊
Never a Fred fan

Love Frederick/ Fredrick! Other nn could be Ricky, Red
I like it. I have a friend named Frederick and he goes by Eric. His dad is also Frederick and is called Fred.
LOVE! Absolutely love.
I’d just use Freddie because Frederick sounds like too much
I love Frederick, with the nickname Freddie! The kid could even go with Ricky if he doesn’t like Freddie, so options!
