Which name would be better?

I would like some input on a name my DH is in LOVE with.  He wants to name our DS, "Frederick".  I am just not in love with it but I don't completely hate it.  I would like Eli but I am thinking about something else now.  We are definitely having Charles as the middle name.  So, I need thoughts, gals.

Which do you like better, since for some strange reason I can't make a clicky poll! 

 

Frederick Charles or Eli Charles?

  • I think Frederick Charles sounds better together, but I like the name Eli by itself better. I think it's super cute.

  • I'm in the same boat. DH wants to use Frederick (as a middle name) in honor of his grandfather, ok... I understand that but I still do not like the name. I think I like Frederick Charles better because of the way it sounds but I do like Eli more than Frederick.
  • I love love love Eli.  I think Eli Charles sounds great together.

  • I like Eli Charles better.  I don't think I could do Frederick, just because I don't like the nn Fred.
  • I think both names are classic and lovely.  I think of Eli as more of a NN so I guess I would go with either Elijah or Elliot Charles.  Can't really chose between the 2 as they both sound really nice with Charles. 
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

  • Frederick Charles is cute!
