Christian is lovely.

[KlingybunFistelvase]

Christian as I really don't like Alfie for some reason. I know it's v popular though, so think I must be in the minority!

[DramaAlpaca]

Christian.

I really don't like Alfred/Alfie.

[IWantATardis]

Christian, although the religious connotations might make me think twice. I'm not keen on Alfred.

[FineLookingHighHorse]

The world doesnt need another Alfie imvho.

[FineLookingHighHorse]

Freddie?

Or Christian spelt the scandi way, Kristian?

[CompanyOfCats]

Soooooooooo many baby Alfies right now.

[Pipilangstrumpf]

Alfie already sounds dated and imo a little comical.

Christian is a lovely solid name that sounds strong and masculine. Not overused these days.

Yeah I'm reeaaaaally over Alfie, but if you do I'm definitely pro being Alfred on the BC.
I know several Christians and it's a nice name, even though it's super obvious the religious aspect never jumps out at me. One Christian I know his parents are agnostic as far as I know.

Alfie

[CPtart]

Christian. Far more classy and timeless. Alfie is dreadful.

[daisydaisychain]

I like Alfred and the historical connotations.

[chatnanny]

I know several little Alfreds which would put me off. I like Christian and have never made the religious connection either.

[MollyHuaCha]

Christian. Lovely name.

[Pipilangstrumpf]

If Christian feels too religious how about Christopher?
