Albert or Arthur....

[Mumblyboo]

which do you prefer and why?

Arthur handsome friendly and slightly quirky

I went to school with an Arthur his life was made a misery every day there are so many lovely names.

Alfred

Albert. It's a bit quirkier and less staid than Arthur.

Arthur

I like both! Like bertie more than artie tho!

I love Arthur! I have a 90 year old Uncle Arthur & he's wonderful. I'm so glad the name has come back into fashion. I don't like Artie though.

Not keen on Albert, I think it's still an old man's name.

Its all a bit flat caps and whippets though isn't it

Arthur.

My son is called Arthur so I LOVE it! He is the most gorgeous 6 month old!

Slightly worried to read Sonly's post though. I very very much hope that my Arthur doesn't get bullied. Was his school life definitely a misery because of his name? DH went to school with an Arthur and he wasn't bullied, he's a very happy chap!

Arthur......it's cool

Perhaps its an age thing the boys at my school were all Garys and Deans!

Albert. Less popular and cooler in my opinion. Love Bertie!

Arthur has a classier feel I think

Arthur. No bullying nowadays, it's something like 60th in the name rankings. It's a fine name for a king or a whippet owner.

Albert reminds me of the slang Prince Albert.

Love both, Albert won for me just because I loved Bertie and really didn't like Artie... Then DP vetoed both :(

Arthur is lovely.

Albert I have mixed feelings on - Bertie is cute, but Bert isn't. Albert is still an 'old man's name' to me, and of course there is the 'Prince Albert' slang too - not good.

They both are both dreadful. Albert is slightly less dreadful. Arthur is a cat's name.

oh, I forgot about the piercing. sorry, have to re-think my answer. As bad as Arthur is, at least it's not a penis piercing. So, Arthur it is then.

Not that keen on either but prefer Albert

Haha, don't sugar coat it marge!

Arthur wins hands down for me

Both brilliant names. I know a very cool Albert. But love Arthur too, was on my list for if I had a boy. Reminds me of King Arthur.
Might now favor Albert though because of Bertie option
