three names on the list...

[katherine2008]

We have 3 names on our short list. Please be gentle with me!
Edward (would be nn Teddy)
Albert (nn Bert/ie)
Alfred (nn Alfie)
As you can see we are a fan of shortening the names and our middle names work well with all of them. No problem with initials spelling something rude....
Thank you!

Edward. It's more timeless than the other two - which are very of the current times

with Bertie a close second

Albert then Alfred in preference order.

I have a serious dislike of Edward and there are many under 2 where I live.

Edward. Although I have been put of it by Twilight. Stoopid books ruining everything!

Love Edward. Not keen on the other two.

Edward and Albert, both lovely names.

In order of preference...

Full names

1. Edward
2. Albert
3. Alfred

Nicknames

1. Alfie
2. Bertie
3. Teddy

thank you for advice - I think I prefer Edward and Albert, so we'll just have to wait to see what he looks like when he arrives!

Don't like Edward, but do like Ed, or Teddy
Love Bertie, so cute
And Alfie also very nice

As you can see i prefer the nicknames over the full names

Albert.

LOVE Teddy so my vote goes for Edward - or how about Edmund which is far less common?

I love Edward and prefer Teddy to Ed.
Albert is unusual and I like Bertie
Alfred- prefer the nn Freddie as Alfie a bit overused imo

Love love love Teddy.

I love Teddy but prefer Edmund to Edward.

Bertie is very sweet but Albert reminds me of a Prince Albert (as in a piercing in a penis).

I think Alfie has been way over used in the last 15 years.

Edward is nice, but Teddy is too childish (and will get teased with Teddy Bear). Eddie is cute imo. Really dislike Albie/Alfie/Archie/Bertie type names - they are indeed overused and will soon sound dated imo.

I like Edmund, but it reminds me of Blackadder and I can only see Rowan Atkinson in doublet and hose! I am a fan of Teddy, but I know that it might sound too babyish quickly, although I suppose it did Roosevelt ok!

Edward.
I prefer Albert to Alfred, but Alfie to Bertie.

Alfie is over used IMO. Edward/Teddy nicest, though also popular. Bertie 2nd best.

Albert/Bertie
Edward/Ted
Alfred -- dislike Alfie and Fred is more a nn for Frederick

Albert - love it. Not so keen on Bertie though
Edward - I think Teddy is the best nn for Edward too
Alfred - too many Alfies where I live
