David Walliams has called his DS.....

[Ham69]

Alfred.

I like it, if it's not shortened, though was secretly hoping he would call him Simon!

I really like Alfred!

Good choice

Don't like it but its better than Alfie!

Alfred...is ok. It's a bit more out there than I was expecting, a bit old man chic, considering he said his DS would have a very uncontroversial name.

I love Alfred. No Alfie. Fred or Alf. But prefer Alfred. Great.

I like it. DD2 got to meet him after a competition thing a year and a half ago, and he was very kind and lovely to all the children there, so I'm a fan of him anyway.

And I close Alfred a lot too. I love Alfie for a nickname, but when he's older, he can go by the more serious Alfred, or the more unique Red (as a friend is nicknamed).

And I like

It's not exactly my top choice of name I admit, I prefer more popular names in general, and not the slightly more old fashioned name style, ut it's nice all the same.

Aw, I like it.

Not nearly as bad as I was expecting. It's a good, solid name.

I wanted Alfred, don't like Alfie, though.

DD2 has a friend called Alfred. It's a great name

I like it too. Nickname options are good and could serve lots of different types of person!

Nice sensible traditional name , unusual enough that there unlikely to be more than one or two in the class at school .all my boys have friends called Alfred and there are several good derivatives.

It was my grandad's name.
It's ok.

I think it's a bit of a drippy name for my tastes, but on the other hand it's normal, and always good to hear celebs picking sensible names not stupid made up / mispelled / "kool" names.

Quite nice really. Better than the Pomegranate / Stormcloud / Deckchair type celeb baby names.

I detest the name Alfie. I hope they call him Freddie for short.

DS2's second name is Alfred. It's a family name on my paternal side. Love it put don't like 'Alfie'.

Alfred makes me think of men shaped and dressed like the Fat Controller from Thomas the Tank Engine.

Alfred is lovely. And I'd say Lara Stone and her DH have called their baby Alfred

Like it, was my Grandads name!!

My DS (10 weeks) is Alfred.

I don't like it when the nurse calls him in as "Alfie". That's not his name!

I think it's natural for people to call a tiny Alfred Alfie!

It'll definitely happen when he's in school so best to steel your nerves now.

I don't mind Alfred. But I really dislike Alfie.

I love David Walliams, but not so keen on Alfred personally but i can see why they have chosen it as it is a good solid name. I like Alfie myself

I like it. I like that it can be shortened if they wish but that they stuck to the 'proper' full name for the birth cert ( I am soooo old fashioned)
