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?

[cocoachannel]

Live FOTC but I too would think football first.

[Snowflakepie]

Never heard of the song, my first thought was West Brom. Depends if that bothers you or not. But just Albie or Alby I wouldn't link with anything really.

[kiwi5]

Totally FOTC! But its a cool song! I say super cute-go for it!!

[steppemum]

Albion makes me think if the football team.
Albi makes me think of a town in France (not a bad association though!)

[BoringSchoolChoiceNickname]

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).

[PurpleStorm]

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

[JugsMcGee]

Just reminds me of Plymouth Albion!

[VikingLady]

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

[CruCru]

It reminds me of a pub and the FotC song.

[KirstyoffEastenders]

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

Probably Stephanie, I was working in Plymouth at the time

[Kelerina]

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

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 noindex" target="_blank">this?

[GirlOutNumbered]

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

[KobayashiMaru]

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

[GirlOutNumbered]

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!

[StephaniePowers]

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

[Badvoc]

Erm. No.
Just...no.

[GirlOutNumbered]

haha stephanie...

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

[malovitt]

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.

[BunnyLebowski]

Albion is, quite frankly, ridiculous.

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

[StephaniePowers]

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

[MMMarmite]

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.

[GirlOutNumbered]

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