I know it reached #4 about 13 years ago, it’s overused, it’s too cute.. but
⁃ we live un Aus so it never reached that peak here after eastender’s character in the UK. But I do feel a bit squeamish imagining telling UK friends and family the name and they prob roll their eyes
⁃ It’s the only name DH and I both love, after searching for over 6 months. I love the flow of L and F together that I just can’t find with any other name
⁃ I don’t mind the ‘cutesy’ element of it - it’s cute and cheeky, and I would love my son to be like that (even as an adult). I <span class="italic">can</span> easily imagine a successful barrister named Alfie - I think it sounds handsome without appearing too serious (and boring)? My DH has a ‘cutesy’ name and he is a tall, handsome and very successful - having a ‘cute’ name suits him and makes him appear even more adorable? I think it adds charisma.
I do like the idea of a slightly unusual, cool name, but the problem is I love a lot of popular names - that’s why they’re popular! And I’ve just been going round in circles.
Baby boy is due in 8 weeks and I cannot find a name we both love (searched baby name boards on here for about two years..)
Still a no?
