Albi - the racist dragon?

[GirlOutNumbered]

I love the name Albion. DH says it will be shortened to Albi (which I like) but there was a joke song by FLight of the Conchords called Albi the Racist Dragon.

Is that what you thought of?

Never heard of the song and really like the name.

please, please don't call your child Albion. I have no idea what flight of the conchords is.

I thought Albion Market

Yes, I would immediately think of that!

What about Alfred or Albert instead? Old-fashioned names are back in :)

I teach an Albert and he is so lovely. I do like that and Alfred.

Nope. I quite like Flight of the Concords, but I haven't heard that song. I think it's nice. It reminds me of Alfie, and also Alba in The time traveller's wife.

I'm afraid it makes me think immediately that the parents are National Front supporters.

Albion is, quite frankly, ridiculous.

And Albi would instantly have me singing the FoTC song. And sniggering.

I would think the same as your DH, although I do have an 'Albi the racist dragon' t-shirt which I bought about 5 years ago from the US. Couldn't get one over here.
Albi is lovely, but may be confused with Alfie, which is not.

haha stephanie...

Albions a no I think, but I wont tell DH he was right.

Erm. No.
Just...no.

What about Albert, but everyone calls him Alb, or Albie?
It's a really nice name (just not Albion!).

I used to work with an Albion years ago. We called him Albi. I have always liked the name, but I can see the love is not shared!

I'm not actually sure I like Albi as a mans name, now I have written it down a few times anyway!

Makes me think NF too. Why not Alby, short for Albert?

I really didn't expect the NF links, but I guess with the name maybe I should have. Will definitely steer clear now!

GirlOutNumbered, did his parents look like <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&client=safari&sa=N&tbo=d&rls=en&tbm=isch&tbnid=J924pmI17YQRyM:&imgrefurl=hoffman.photoshelter.com/image/I00007I2h0SP9HTg&docid=ciXDQee7fFcriM&imgurl=cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I00007I2h0SP9HTg/s/750/600/NF-Finger-Couple.jpg&w=750&h=500&ei=s5QCUYD1MM2N0wXChIHoBg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=4&vpy=134&dur=4197&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=129&ty=130&sig=115172420618456094903&page=1&tbnh=142&tbnw=214&start=0&ndsp=29&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:82&biw=1372&bih=784" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this?

Albi is cute, Albion not so much. Love that flight of the conchords song, awesome song.

Probably Stephanie, I was working in Plymouth at the time

Haha, love the Conchords
I would assume parents were West Brom fans.

It reminds me of a pub and the FotC song.

NF was the first thing I thought of too, sorry. Objectively it is a nice name, but perhaps not wise!

Just reminds me of Plymouth Albion!

I've never heard of FLight of the Conchords or Albi the Racist Dragon.

If you were lucky I'd think West Brom fan, if unlucky EDL.
Either way, it's a no no (unless you are massive West Brom fans in which case, go for it).
