Frederica is delightfully offbeat and eccentric, but also grounded and formal enough to work as an everyday name. Definitely a bit of a mouthful, but charming in its old-fashioned stuffiness. Freddy is the perfect built in nickname, but Frieda or Ricky would work too.

I think Frederica is a beautiful name, and Freddie would be such a cute nn for a little girl!

Frieda does a better job of it. That's nicer than Frederick, Fred or Frederica. I thought I liked them briefly, but I just can't. Frieda, with that spelling, is a name I do like.
