Fred peaked at #19(!) in 1900, and is now out of the top 1000. :( That's my name too! Naming your firstborn son Frederick has become a tradition in my family. I'm the fourth in a row that I'm aware of, and my first son is named Frederick. But we call him by his middle name, Brendan (which aparently didn't even appear until a few years ago), because family gatherings get too confusing. Hey Fred! What?What?What?What? :lol: My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth... [ Edited by: finkdaddy on 2005-02-11 08:50 ]
