I have an Alfie . He'll be 16 next week
I still love his name

Shinyshoes2 · 30/09/2016 21:51

We did have the " what's it all about alfieeeeeeee" when he was born Hmm

PrincessOnTheInternet · 30/09/2016 21:53

Love it, one of my favourite names!

CauliflowerSqueeze · 30/09/2016 21:56

Nope sorry.

Girliefriendlikesflowers · 30/09/2016 21:56

Love it, it was my boy name that I didn't get to use as I had girl!

SisterViktorine · 30/09/2016 21:59

I'm afraid Alfie is a naughty boy name- in my school anyway.

sallysparrow157 · 30/09/2016 22:12

My tortoise is called Alfie, leading to me and the bloke calling all tortoises Alfies (and all turtles swimming Alfies)! My godson is also an Alfie (I may possibly buy him the occasional tortoise themed gift...)

WordGetsAround · 30/09/2016 22:13

Too cute for me.

PunkrockerGirl · 30/09/2016 22:16

Love it.

MaxineRockatansky · 30/09/2016 22:17

Dreadful.

Too commonly used and 'cheeky chappy' for my tastes.

TempsPerdu · 30/09/2016 22:19

Not a fan I'm afraid. Cute enough on a toddler, but don't think it ages well.

bluebirdx · 30/09/2016 23:18

I thought it might not age well until I remembered Alfie on eastenders who really suits his name hahaGrin

Thanks for all the replies, makes me love it even more Smile

It's fine, but it's very popular. It isn't as nice when they have to be known as Alfie initial all through their school days.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/10/2016 07:37

Many Alfies become Alf, as teenagers, it's a good name.

PotatoBread · 01/10/2016 19:14

I like it but it's v v popular to the point where it's become very bland and boring which is a shame. Depends if popularity bothers you or not.

WaitrosePigeon · 01/10/2016 21:17

Only if Alfred is on the BC.

It's boring and extremely popular now. But is fine for an average name.

CauliflowerSqueeze · 02/10/2016 08:36

I think "Reggie" is the new "Alfie" in my school's area.

MrsGsnow18 · 02/10/2016 10:13

I'm not a fan of Alfie. It's been very popular for a while now and there are way too many Alfies around I think.

bluebirdx · 02/10/2016 16:06

Alfie's not actually very popular in my area which is why I quite like it Smile

Twee and overused.

ItMustBeBedtimeSurely · 02/10/2016 16:09

It's been done to death tbh. And is definitely a naughty boy name.

bluebirdx · 02/10/2016 16:11

The only other name I really like is Freddie, and it's not very liked on here Hmm

OP posts:
bluebirdx · 02/10/2016 16:11

Love names ending in'ie'

Doublejeopardy · 02/10/2016 16:30

My Alfie isn't naughty, isn't an Alfred either. I do notice his friends call him Alf now he is 10

ItMustBeBedtimeSurely · 02/10/2016 16:55

Freddie is much better.
