My DH LOVES this name but I'm not sure. WDYT? Is it somehow uber trendy in its old-manishness?
Would probably be shortened to Al or Bertie

I like it, and although it's on the old-fashioned side, I don't think it's one of the "trendy" names (like Alfie/Charlie/Stanley).

really like it - was my grandad's name.

Bertie is a great NN

I absolutely love it and nearly used it, but I was put off by the nickname Albie!

Fourleaf · 18/03/2011 16:55

Oooh I like Albie :)

I like it, was on my boy shortlist.

love, love, love it! DD was going to be Albie.

I can see Albie, Bertie & Wilfie becoming the new Alfie, Archie & Charlie. I've heard of quite a few of each born this year.

I do like Albert but just not any of the nicknames. Likewise Alfred.

Its awful

I like it.
On par with Alfred and Arthur, which are coming back.
My favourite of the three is Arthur though.

I like it and really like Albie.

Trouble with Albie is it will forever remind be of the psychopath in Cracker. Bertie is much better.
