I really love this name for dc4 but I know through searching previous threads on here its very disliked... 🤔

Still the case?

I can't see how it's 'uglier' than Aurora or something like that..

Just wondered your thoughts?

😀

Thanks x

Hello I do care what family and friends think..

My concern is that the lot of them would think is was bizarre/ugly. And yes pathetically I don't want the hassle. 😁

I still love it though. I think I'll mull it over longer.

Xmasjumper I love Georgette!! But we're not French!

albertine rose looks beautiful!

Her nickname would be ber-teeny!

I love Albertine.

It makes me think of Proust and I like it.

But I imagine Albert will jump out at a lot of people and make them do a double take in a bad way.

Alberta is nicer I think as Albertine sound alike a male European name

Instead of Albertine Rose, maybe:

Alberta Roseline
Alberta Rosalie

Have you looked at Adeline?

I definitely don't see it in the same category as Pauline and Denise. Much prettier and classier. I think Albertine hasn't dated in the same way those two have as it was never popular at the time they were.

I really, really like it.

lavenderpekins · 22/04/2016 09:07

You know what I might just go for it..!

If it is actually a girl she could have a very feminine middle name?

I wonder why Albert is awful? Bertie is cute isn't it? Wasn't the Queens dad Albert? Not that I'm particularly royalist!

I wonder where the other 2 Albertines in the country live 😂

Sorry weirdly I hate Alberta! And sorry rose was referring to the plant not as a middle name :)

There's an author called Rachel Cusk who i think had a daughter called Albertine

lavenderpekins · 22/04/2016 09:15

And I think they still live in Brighton interestingly!
