Our prospective boy's name is Alfred.

Would you see how it goes or say to people to be known as Freddie or Alfie?

Do you prefer Alfie or Freddie? I know both are quite popular...but we like them.

Our other boy's names are Albert and Thedore. DH is kind of stuck on Alfred though so the others are not real contenders.

DS1 is Hugh.

Fab name. Alfie is the usual shortening, I've not heard any Alfreds called Freddie, although I'm sure you could use it if you liked. Or you can use the long form, or Alf, or Fred. Good to be named after the only English king ever called the Great (even though his cooking wasn't the best).

I would wait what people or ds say. Alfred isn't that long so it does not need to be shortened. Its a nice name as it is.

I think Alfie would be a more obvious nickname for Alfred. Freddie would be a short form for Frederick imo. But both would work.
