I like Albie and Arlo. Thinking of having William as the second name so Albie-William Arlo-William. Just would like a few more that I like. His last name will be Turner Grin

I like Albie. Arlo sounds like the place Harlow with the 'H' dropped to me.

Albie William Turner is lovely.

I think Arlo Turner sounds pretty cool!

Not keen on Albie (the racist dragon).

Otis?

I do like Theo a lot, I really love Albie but had some negative reactions from people saying its a bit of a wimpy name Hmm

Can't see anything wimpy about Albie, it's just a derivation of Albert, isn't it? (A good old-fashioned name that is coming back into fashion. Which is nice)

So, re Albert, how about Bert or Bertie?

Chloeisobelle21 · 13/12/2015 22:38

Yes it is a derivation of Albert, I like old fashioned names but it's got a bit of a twist so it's nice. I already have a daughter called Grace, so I think they go well together. I love Milo but that's the name of my mums cat haha!

William Turner was Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean. Some wouldn't mind, but some will. Just fyi.

I'd prefer Albert William with Albie as a nickname.

Are you having a hyphen in the name?

Arlo William Turner, like it.
I reckon as names go Albie will be cute until he's around 10.

I love Albie, but I'm slightly biased as Albert is our top choice at the moment so we can use either Albie or Bert/ie when we meet our DS. I thought a few people would screw their faces up to a baby Albert but it's been well received so far.

Joel
Oliver (can be shortened to Ollie/Olli/Oli - spelling can matter to kids, especially teens)
Eliot (with however many l's and t's you want)
Eli (as a name or a nn for Eliot)
Also Albie can be spelt Alby just to give you another option Smile

Is there a Swedish/Norwegian name 'Albin'?

Might be a bit more 'grownup' for him.

I think albie is cute, but somehow incomplete?

Albin is quite cool. Albie is just very soft and not too in your face. I prefer Albie to Albert or Bert/Bertie.
Boys names are so hard! I just want a name that isn't so widely used so when his name is called 5 other kids turn their heads.
