Albertine

[lavenderpekins]

I really love this name for dc4 but I know through searching previous threads on here its very disliked... 🤔

Still the case?

I can't see how it's 'uglier' than Aurora or something like that..

Just wondered your thoughts?

😀

Thanks x

[everdene]

I only know Viv Albertine. But I like it!

Sadly DH has vetoed Alberta (like the Eric Clapton song) for our future baby!

[DontKillMyVibe]

I quite like it. Don't think it's ugly and it's much better than Aurora

[EmpressOfTheSevenOceans]

Tbh I think any name with "bert" in it is ugly - male or female. It's just not a good sound.

[Lunar1]

Please don't!

[TheRollingCrone]

Oh my first dolly was called Albertina! It's a lovely name. Congratulations!

[lavenderpekins]

why Lunar1? What's your reasoning? I'm interested.
When I 'hear' it without connotations to Bert the 'sound' of it imo has a lovely ring to it.. No?

[NotAnotherPackedLunchBox]

I like it - it makes me think of an old fashioned rambling rose that my grandmother grew in her garden.

Would you use Ali or Tina to avoid shortening it to Bert?

[Ambroxide]

I love it.

[MaudGonneMad]

Proustian. I love it.

[lavenderpekins]

Ooh great..! love 'rambling rose' packed lunch.

Ber-teeny I quite like as a nickname.. 😄

[Ragusa]

Not sure... don't hate it but I prefer Amandine.

[sonlypuppyfat]

Please don't it's grim

[lavenderpekins]

How is it 'grim'? Grim to me is maude.. 😁

[Jade1212]

I don't like it, but each to their own! Don't know why the dig at 'Aurora' was needed though

[sonlypuppyfat]

Any name with Bert in is grim

[Sophronia]

I like it. I also like similar names like Alberta, Roberta and Amandine

[MuddhaOfSuburbia]

oooh I think it's cute

but can't quite see it in an everyday context

babies do grow into their names, though

(btw Aurora is unpronounceable by 98.7% of under 6s )

[lavenderpekins]

Oh sorry! Genuinely not meant as a dig it's just a similar name imo.
Begins with an a, unconventional etc.. I actually quite like aurora but to me = Disney..
Interesting there are more positive opinions of the name this time..

[Floggingmolly]

What's with all these bizarre names lately? It seems in their quest for "unique", people are missing the mark completely and going for ridiculous instead
Top tip; if nobody else has thought to use it, it's usually for a very good reason.

[wasninah]

I like it.

[lavenderpekins]

Then the world would be BORING flog..! 😄

[sonlypuppyfat]

Poor child will never be able to buy a mug with her name on it!!

[lavenderpekins]

Ha! 😂

[sooperdooper]

I've never heard it before, I like it, I assume its a girls name?
