[Opinions] Re: Fred
in reply to a message by Pickles
Definitely OK, but not a name I'd ever use. Which means I wouldn't use Frederick either. It's a family name, not very direct: four distant uncles were named Cecil, Campbell, Frederick (Fred) and Edgar. And, though I appreciate family names, I don't appreciate any of these, including Cecil which is also my father's name (on a different side of the family).
