New name added to our (very short) list. How many Albies do you know?

Full name would be Albert.

I really wanted to use it, DH vetoed it. I would probably have used Bertie though as any time I hear Albie I think “racist dragon”

I teach one who is nick named Bertie. Love Albie as a nick name

I don't know, Albie and Bertie sound like babies or toddlers, while Albert sounds like an old man.

I quite like Bertie too actually so that’s a potential nn anyway

Someone somewhere is going to decide that Albert should be known as Bertie or, erm, Bert.

I think it’s dreadful, sorry.

PaddlingShoes · 25/02/2018 13:28

I love it and I know a three week old Albie too!

I know an Albie, but it’s short for Albertine.

I know 3 in our small town.

Don't know any, love Albert, it was on my boy list. Prefer Bertie to Albie, though.

That’s fine Mike I was asking how many people know not if they like it but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
