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 :)

Albert

Angus. It's a classic.
Albert is very "of the moment" but will date (like it did last time).

Angus

Albert. Lovely name.

I prefer Albert but Angus is nice too and is much better alongside your sons name. Albert is too similar.

I agree Albert will date.

VioletVelvet · 18/12/2014 16:08

Both nice but I'd go with Albert.

Angus. DS2 was almost Angus but came out and was very obviously an Alasdair!

I have an uncle Angus (and I also have an aunty Agnes but that's a different story). I don't have any relative called Albert so for that reason alone I vote for Angus.

Angus.

floatyflo · 18/12/2014 16:31

Gosh neither!

fishfingerSarnies · 18/12/2014 16:32

Wait and see what he feels like when you see him, two lovely names I think, one should suit. Good luck. X

Still waiting to go in for c-Section will keep you posted... No room at the Inn this morning...

Angus

Angus!

Angus is lovely or if you like Bert/Bertie what about Robert officially, nickname Bertie? Like the actor Babylon actor Bertie Carvel??

Angus.
Sorry but as a teacher I always do a double take when I come across a little boy called Albert. It just doesn't seem right. Angus can be shortened to Gus, which is cool.
