My husband and I are expecting our first baby next week, but despite narrowing our list of names down to four we are still struggling to choose. I would really appreciate your help as we are getting nowhere.
Our choices are:
Edward nn Ted
Arthur nn Art/Artie
Alfred nn Alf/Fred
Albert nn Bert

Thank you so much!

Edward. The others are nowhere near as nice.

rubyslippers83 · 11/02/2018 18:08

Thank you

Edward. I'm biased because I have one (known as Eddie). Ted is a lovely shortening too.

AmberTopaz · 11/02/2018 18:11

Edward is my favourite too.

ShackUp · 11/02/2018 18:12

I have a Fred and a Bert

ShackUp · 11/02/2018 18:12

(Alfred and Albert)

SpottyBrolly · 11/02/2018 18:17

Alfred or Albert.

rubyslippers83 · 11/02/2018 18:18

Thank you for all of your help..seems they are all popular. Edward out in front at the moment...

I think Edward is by far the nicest.

Don't worry though, you'll know which one is right when you meet him

AdaColeman · 11/02/2018 18:36

All very nice names. I think Arthur is quite popular just now, so I'd pick Albert, and I especially like Bertie as a nn.

pilates · 11/02/2018 18:42

Edward and Albert are my favourites

BrutusMcDogface · 11/02/2018 18:49

I think Edward, too!

rubyslippers83 · 11/02/2018 19:01

Looks like Edward is in first place! Thank you all for taking the time to comment, this is my first post and has been really helpful.

I'm voting for Alfred, as I like Alfie and Freddie as nn.

Edward for me! Congrats

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 11/02/2018 21:55

Edward by a mile.

LarkDescending · 11/02/2018 23:01

Edward/Ted for me too.

Stinkbomb · 11/02/2018 23:43

Albert is a nice name but I can't help thinking about a Prince Albert

RosieCotton · 12/02/2018 01:09

Arthur is lovely, I never even thought of it for a boy.

Sophronia · 12/02/2018 02:33

Arthur

17caterpillars1mouse · 23/02/2018 20:02

Albert nn Bertie
