This may be the hormones but I've just seen this on another thread and I think it's fab! I love the NN Bert or Bertie so always wanted a '__bert' name but don't like any of the others (Robert, Herbert etc). Gilby is also an adorable potential nickname. Thoughts? Hormones or good idea?

I thought Gil or Gilly was the nickname for Gilbert?

Just name them Bertie. If that's what you'll call them and they'll be known as. Or just Bert, nn Bertie?
