I don't like it as it is too cutesy. But I don't like boy's names ending in the 'ee' sound and you do so I'm no help!

Pipilangstrumpf · 02/10/2016 21:01

I don't like it, I'm afraid.

It's a shame I don't like Alfred, a mixture of Alfie and Freddie haha Smile

I've nothing against the name, but it's so popular, there are four in Ds class and three in the class next door, so seven in one year.

Alfie is a naughty boy here too. The Alfie I know has siblings called Sonny and Poppy. Just as bad as Freddie, Archie, Charlie, Albie etc etc.

GillyMcFizzleSocks · 02/10/2016 16:57

Freddie's a lovely name!

ItMustBeBedtimeSurely · 02/10/2016 16:55

Freddie is much better.

Doublejeopardy · 02/10/2016 16:30

My Alfie isn't naughty, isn't an Alfred either. I do notice his friends call him Alf now he is 10

The only other name I really like is Freddie, and it's not very liked on here Hmm

It's been done to death tbh. And is definitely a naughty boy name.

ScarletForYa · 02/10/2016 16:08

Twee and overused.

Alfie's not actually very popular in my area which is why I quite like it Smile

I'm not a fan of Alfie. It's been very popular for a while now and there are way too many Alfies around I think.

CauliflowerSqueeze · 02/10/2016 08:36

I think "Reggie" is the new "Alfie" in my school's area.

WaitrosePigeon · 01/10/2016 21:17

Only if Alfred is on the BC.

It's boring and extremely popular now. But is fine for an average name.

PotatoBread · 01/10/2016 19:14

I like it but it's v v popular to the point where it's become very bland and boring which is a shame. Depends if popularity bothers you or not.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/10/2016 07:37

Many Alfies become Alf, as teenagers, it's a good name.

NuffSaidSam · 30/09/2016 23:55

It's fine, but it's very popular. It isn't as nice when they have to be known as Alfie initial all through their school days.

I thought it might not age well until I remembered Alfie on eastenders who really suits his name hahaGrin

Thanks for all the replies, makes me love it even more Smile

Not a fan I'm afraid. Cute enough on a toddler, but don't think it ages well.

MaxineRockatansky · 30/09/2016 22:17

Dreadful.

Too commonly used and 'cheeky chappy' for my tastes.

PunkrockerGirl · 30/09/2016 22:16

Love it.
