Frederick peaked at #56 in 1910 & it's been downhill ever since (now #340). Freddie peaked at 151 in the '40s, & is now #977; as a girl's name it peaked in the '40s at 477 & dropped out of the top 1000 by the '60s. 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:

Cousin! I'm also the 4th Frederick in a row & ended up with the nickname "Ricky," since there was already "Big Fred," "Little Fred," & "Freddie," and we all have the same middle name, everyone decided it'd be easier that way. So of course I then named my son "Troy" (peaked at #57 in the '60s, currently #259).
