Pros : it sounds unforgettable and is a hard name to be mispronounced.Cons : when I hear it, I can only think of a fat, old or mid-aged man with big glasses.
Well, Freddie is Eddie's pet frog on Little People. Also...Fred isn't one of my favorites. It's too nicknamey and bland. Fred reminds me too much of Mister Roger's neighborhood, Scooby Doo, and the Flintsones. Those aren't very bad associations, but still. Frederick is nice, though. Fred would be okay as a nickname for Frederick.
Freaky Fred is a character from the cartoon, "Courage the Cowardly Dog". Although not a recurring character, Fred is well-known due to his creepy appearance. :)

This name strikes me instantly as masculine with a good athletic and academic mix. It is traditional and I think of an All-American type man or boy, a college baseball or football player.
If someone asked me the first person I think of when I hear the name Fred, I would automatically say Fred Jones from Scooby Doo - which isn't necessarily a bad thing! In the tv show, Fred was always good looking and a leader. On the other hand, another Fred kids will think of is Fred Figglehorn, the Youtube character, who is insane.
Fred Burke was a major character in the later seasons of Angel. She was played by Amy Acker. In this case, 'Fred' was short for 'Winifred'. I thought it was cute, way better than the nickname Winnie.
