Makes me think of that Scottish actor (who was in Hamish Macbeth and trainspotting) as he played a really unpleasant character called Albie in an episode of Cracker.
Puppy Loves not everyone liked it, my mum, dad sister did not but DH's family loved it, same with friends, but I think you get that with most names. I had a more postive reaction to DS1's name but is quite popular so I suppose more accepted.
I think you have to go with what you and your DH both like and what you think will be a good name for your child as a baby and as an adult.
Yes he's registered as Albie. DH wanted Albert but I thought it was too old fashioned so we agreed on Albie. All my kids have nn type names - Teddy, Bobby, Albie! Just go with what you like - no one ever likes our names but we do thats what matters.
