Bertie ? Nothing longer that would be his registered name if so any middle name inspo we have a one syllable surname that's Irish

Bertie is great, but Rocky won’t do at all, sorry.

ItWasOnAStarryNight · 07/10/2024 22:18

It's a child not a dog. I know of a human Rocky once though and he was a right little shit.

Scutterbug · 07/10/2024 22:16

I like it. I’m not a fan of Rocky though.

Bertie is a great name for a dog.

Agreed.

We know a girl Bertie and it's so cute on her! Not sure what it's short for....

Roberta probably. Alberta possibly

abracadabra1980 · 07/10/2024 22:15

Not for a human IMHO. Know two male dogs with the name 🐾

GiveMeVodkaPlease · 07/10/2024 21:56

I know a little girl Bertie which is very cute. Also nice for a boy imo 🙂

Anoisagusaris · 07/10/2024 21:56

Former Irish Taoiseach Bertie Ahern or Bertie Wooster is what I think of! 😆

mathanxiety · 07/10/2024 21:53

If it's a choice between Bertie or Rocky, then Bertie wins easily.

Not my cup of tea but it's your baby.

He can shorten it to Bert if he likes when he's older.

RaiseYourSkinnyFists · 07/10/2024 21:53

I think it's great! Go for it

TexanBrisket · 07/10/2024 21:40

Don't name a baby, name a man. That's when he will have his name for the longest, and when it will be the most important.

Bertie is much better than Rocky.

FriendlyNeighbourhoodAccountant · 07/10/2024 21:35

I think it's awful, sorry. It's a dog's name in my opinion.

WetBandits · 07/10/2024 21:34

All the Berties I know are dogs. I don’t like it at all, I’m afraid, not even for a dog. It’s very twee.

Same with Rocky.

Deadhouseplant · 07/10/2024 21:33

Bertie is a great name for a dog.

samedifferent · 07/10/2024 21:32

I don't think it a great formal name for an adult honestly.
So if you aren't wanting to have a more formal name as an option in the future I would keep looking.

OliviaFlaversham · 07/10/2024 21:31

It’s ok when short for something but not ok on its own. It feels too much of a diminutive.

BarbaraHoward · 07/10/2024 21:30

Also Irish and my immediate first thought was Aherne which would put me off tbh. That aside it is a lovely name.

Just to reiterate 😂 it would definitely not be lengthened I can't stand Albert or Robert

Twoshoesnewshoes · 07/10/2024 21:20

oh, personally prefer Bertie to Rocky

Twoshoesnewshoes · 07/10/2024 21:19

so cute!
maybe something fairly‘plain’ for a middle name
james
john
william
angus
thomas
daniel

Moreteaandchocolate · 07/10/2024 21:15

I love Albert nn Bertie? Bertie sounds too juvenile for a standalone name for an adult man (to me).

PolaroidPrincess · 07/10/2024 21:09

I really like Bertie. I know one who's about 18 now and that's his full name. Really suits him.

PreggersWithBaby2 · 07/10/2024 21:08

Nothing longer that would be his registered name

Yet in true MN style, people are ignoring the OP and suggesting longer names....
