Albert?

[LexieB]

Albert?! for a boy!

Nice but rather old for me, and the ubiquitous Alfie as a shortening puts me off too.

I like it

I like it - and I like Albie as a nn.

I adore Albert and Albie

sooo cute, little albie!
albert is lovely!

Ahh thanks for comments,thought everyone would hate it!

Albie is gorgeous though, I have to say

Awful

Jarvis Cocker's son is Albert

I know a toddler Albert. I actually laughed when his mother first told me his name - he had been "baby" for several days and I thought she was winding me up . It had grown on me now, although I still have to resist the urge to call him Uncle

Old Albert means something rude, I am told by rude person here

or Bertie, for a nn

I love Albert! Another one that DH says no to

Like it a lot! Fab name.

I know a 7 year old Albert - nn Bertie for short - gorgeous.

And I always thought Alfie was short for Alfred - no?

Lovely.

I love it - sadly we couldn't have it as it really didn't go with our surname....think large round building .

Really like Albert, Albie and Bertie. Very sweet and will suit him as a little boy and also as a grown man. I always look at how appropriate a name will be throughout a life and I think Albie and Bertie are lovely for a child and perhaps then can revert to Albert when he becomes a high court judge!

Albert is a lovely name. It is my name for the fantasy baby boy I will never have.

I can't imagine a teenager called Albert,but then I hate old man names

i have one and although many rellies were sceptical about it to begin with (to the extent of refereing to him as the boy for the first 6 months) everybody now loves it. toddler for albert is albow which is also lovely

I love it, our dog is called it!!! But I would have used it for my son had I held out. I've never known it shortened to Alfie and I really don't like Alfie.

I know one who is Bertie, so cute.

I love the names Albert, Albie, Bert and Bertie.

Love it!! Was my Grandad's name so very dear to me! Also love NN potential -Albie, Bertie etc
