Please help!

C-Section booked for Friday time running out...

Still haven't found baby boy names we like... But quite like old fashioned names... Albert or Angus?

Already have an Archie (Birth certificate Archibald!)

What do you think?

Many thanks in advance for any replies :)

Angus, no question.

scarletforya · 16/12/2014 21:55

Angus.

(but I'm a diehard ac/dc fan)

Mummify · 16/12/2014 21:56

Angus for sure

Alwaysinahurrynow · 16/12/2014 21:57

Angus - I love it!

MehsMum · 16/12/2014 21:58

Albert. Goes much better with Archibald (well done for going the whole hog - I would have done).

cloggal · 16/12/2014 21:59

Angus, without doubt

TheRealMaryMillington · 16/12/2014 22:01

I've got an Angus

It rocks, and so does he

Bit of a dodgy patch in nursery when he was learning to write his name but couldn't yet do a "g"

nn Angy, or Gus, or sometimes SpiderMangus Grin

Surf25 · 16/12/2014 22:13

Angus

Shockingundercrackers · 16/12/2014 22:14

Angus, totally. Great name!

SanityClause · 16/12/2014 22:18

If you like Bertie, what about Herbert, rather than Albert?

As they get older, there'll be letters for A. Hannahsson, and they won't know who it's for. I s'pose you'll save on Cash's name tapes, though.

Mouldypineapple · 16/12/2014 22:18

I prefer Angus - but dont panic you have 6 weeks to register the name so no rush really!
Incidentally, my neighbour is called Alistair, and for some weird reason my dh calls him Angus even though he knows he isnt really!! Another name to add to the indecision perhaps?!

Mouldypineapple · 16/12/2014 22:19

Although Albert goes quite well with Archie!

squoosh · 16/12/2014 22:43

Neither. How about Magnus instead?

Good luck for Friday OP!

cloggal · 16/12/2014 22:45

I like Magnus too squoosh (was on my list for ds). That's definitely more an Angus vote than an Albert vote though :)

Good luck op, let us know what you choose in the end!

Gus is such a cool nickname and less common then Bertie or albie

Hedgehogsbuzz1 · 16/12/2014 22:51

Bertie and albie are too similar to Archie. Gus sits nicely with Archie

Okay yes, Angus is superior to Albert. Gus is super cool.

elmwoo · 16/12/2014 23:04

Well I love Albert , literally as I have one of my very own, and he is gorgeous !!!

BlueStarsAtNight · 17/12/2014 08:02

I like both but think Angus is more distinctive against Archie.

Sophronia · 17/12/2014 11:26

Both are good but I prefer Albert and I think it goes better with Archibald.

Guin1 · 17/12/2014 12:51

Another vote for Angus.

DramaAlpaca · 17/12/2014 21:32

Yet another vote for Angus.

skylark2 · 17/12/2014 21:40

Meh to the cutesy pair of matching ornaments. Let the poor kid have his own first initial.
