There's also Frederic, which is the Catalan form and it's pronunced "fruh-duh-rEEK" (soft r).

Not in the BtN database, but you might like to have the Afrikaans version in your own one.

Looks like Frederik. Sounds like ... not the Dutch, actually. The first syllable is stressed, and has a long E sound followed and diphthongised by a neutral vowel: like 'ear' if you don't sound the R. The unstressed syllables are neutral-vowel-tending-towards-uh.

Nicknames include Freek (same long E), Frik and Derik (which often sounds like the English Derek) as well as the more international Fritz.

They are pr. something like this:
Bedrich - BED-zhisch (with r as in Dvorak)
Frederico - fre-de-REE-koh
Frederik - FRAY-de-rick
Frederikke - fray-de-RIK-kuh
Fredrik - is this really Finnish?
Fredrik - FRAY-drick
Friðrik - FREETH-rick (with th as in "the")
Friðrika - frith-REE-kuh
Friederike - frid-REE-kuh
Frigyes - FRID-yesh
Fryderyk - FREE-de-ryck

Best wishes, Fredrika ;)

The Dutch spelling and pronunciation are:
Frederik - FRAY-duh-rik, and you have to pronounce the r's like the French do in the word 'rue'.
