Name shared with a building.... Ok or not?

We have been really struggling to think of a boy's name for our baby (due in April). We finally decided on Albert (Albie), but then realised that with our surname (Hall), he would be named after a building!

Would love to know whether people think this is a definite no no or not?

No way. I can imagine his classmates growing up and telling people "I went to school with someone called Albert Hall!! Hahahaaa!!!"

No, sorry!

‘‘Tis a definite no from me

😂 I wouldn't do it, it's a shame as Albert is lovely. Unless you use Albie most of the time, and he is just Albert on official documents, I think that would work OK.

I wouldn't personally!
