Robert or Albert

[badkitty]

One week to go and can't decide! What do people think?

Tricky, prefer Albert as a name but Robert makes me think Bob which is fab!

I prefer Albert

Robert. Lots more versions, shortenings, and Albert is more a name of the moment I think.

I like both, think I prefer Robert though.

Robert

Well I think DH prefers Robert, I just think a little Albert would be cute...

Albert although i agree that Robert is more timeless

I love Robert, but then that is what DS is called. I like the way it can vary according to age - Robbie, Rob, Bob, etc. At the moment he has decided he is Robert (aged 9), but he's still Robbie to me :)

Robert.

Albert. My DH is Robert and has never really used his full name, always Rob... althou I sometimes call him Bert in an attempt to use the second half of his name.

Robert.

Albert.

Albert

albert

Robert.

Gilbert?

Albert. Unless you're going for Bobby as a nickname.

Albert - Bertie, Albie
Robert - Bertie, Rob, Robbie, Bob, Bobby

Robert - , Albert is the new Alfie whereas Robert if more unusal!

Robert = Rob, Robbie, Bob, Bobbie, Bert, Bertie

Albert = Al, Aly, Albie, Bert, Bertie

You decide.........

We are currently on Albert. I think I prefer this but not in love with it. Ds1 is Harry, which I love, and just can't think of something which I am so happy with for DS2! what do you think of Harry and Albert together?

I think maybe the main thing which is worrying me with Albert is that I know some people (mainly my mum) will HATE it! I suppose I need to get over this!

Robert! and only on mumsnet would you ever get people saying albert.

has nobody mentioned the piercing?

I am aware of the piercing!

Robert - so fab and not that many out there
albert is too cute and too like Alfie
