How in the heck is Fletch short for Frederick?


How the heck is Pippa short for Penelope? Is Birdie short for Elizabeth? This is how real rich people do nicknames. It doesnt actually have to match. If your kids are names Mason, Grayson and Caden, I understand why you don’t get it.


I thought Pippa was a nn for Philippa?


You’re clearly not rich enough to know the real answer.


It is:

It’s not pleasant sounding. Also doesn’t roll off the tongue easily.

I think of human flesh whenever I hear the name Fletcher. Sorry, I really don’t like the name.

It is honestly the worst boys name I have ever heard. I know a kid around 10 with that name and he seems like he is going to end up in a juvenile detention center. I hated the name stand-alone, plus the awful association, terrible all around.

I grew up in Southern California with a guy name Fletcher. He was super cool and well liked. I like the name a lot and think you should go for it.

I love it. One of my favorite high school teachers had a son named Fletcher and I've loved it since I heard it all those years ago.

This is a family name for me too and it was used as first name in our family in my grandfather and great-grandfather's day. I love it personally but it does have sentimental value to me so I am bias

I actually really like it. Who are you to decide what he kid can pull off? And it has a family connection.

My guess is mason.


Or Cooper or Archer.


She said it doesn’t end in -Er. And if it’s mason, what’s the nickname for that?

One issue we are worried about is that our first son also has an occupational name - think Smith (last name, occupational name, but doesn't end in -ER which most do) Our first goes by a nickname shortened version and almost never his full name.

I know that half of DCUM hates occupational names period. That aside, if you like them, is having two too much?


Wait, are you planning to call the second one Fletcher, or are you going to try to make Fletch happen?



lol.

Op, I doubt most people associate it with an occupation any longer.


Agree. They associate it with dogs.
