So I've been stuck on Frederick lately, but I can't decide on what spelling I prefer, Frederick or Frederic. Which spelling do you prefer?

#Frederic #Frederick

Frederick, definitely. Frederic makes me want to pronounce it the French way.

(Frederick is my favorite name, btw - good choice. ;D )

Why use a French spelling if you're not going to pronounce it the French way?

Of course, if you are going to pronounce it the French way, there's no problem.

Frederick

This spelling looks more complete.

Frederick - unless you live somewhere French-speaking.

I should prefer Frederic in deference to Mr. Chopin. (OT: If you like costume dramas / romances, I recommend "Impromptu" starring Hugh Grant and Judy Davis. It will make you fall in love with his music if you already haven't.) But Frederic looks so incomplete to my eyes. Frederick looks more balanced.

I hope Frederick / Frederic makes a comeback. he's so serious, yet his nn Freddie is so cute.

Frederick. Frederic looks incomplete to me.

I like Frederick. It's more classic, more manly. To me, anyway.
