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

Proustian. I love it.

I love it.

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?Smile

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?

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

Lunar1 · 23/03/2016 18:24

Please don't!

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

DontKillMyVibe · 23/03/2016 18:16

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

I only know Viv Albertine. But I like it!

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