Albus?

[GYMBALL]

Yes ? Or too Harry Pottery ?

Too Harry Potter

Definitely a no go imo

Very Harry Pottery. Also sort of ancient, bulbous and floppy (probably thinking of egg white...)

I like it but then I like HP it's probably the first thing most people would think of when they hear Albus though so if this bothers you then no

I just think 'Dumbledore' immediately!

Very HP, sorry. Albert might be usable if you like the sound? Also Remus but I wouldn't be daring enough!

As a middle name, maybe. Don't think I'd use it as a first name.

How about Alban, as in the first British saint?

I immediately thought of Olibas as in the oil.

Not for me.

I LOVE it but I'm a harry potter geek! I want to call our girl Ginny but my partner doesn't agree lol

How about Aldous?

It sounds like the liquid you sniff when you have a stuffy nose.

Very Harry Potter but I love it anyway.

Dumbledore :)!

It’s nice but yes... very Harry Potter.

What about Alfred or Albert?

Only if you follow through with a load of middle name afterwards especially Brian.

My DS2 has got Brian has a middle name as he has quite a few with a nod to Dumbledore.

Omg I read that as aibus and thought that you must really love Mumsnet

Imo similar names are Alaric, Elio, Amos, Albert and August.

Fine if you want his nickname to be Dumbledore for the rest of his life.....

Love it! I wanted Albus for DS, but DH vetoed it 😃

I love Harry Potter so we named one of our cats Albus

It is very Harry Potter

Love it. There’s an Albie in Ds’s class, which is just lovely.

Love it! Very hp though!

I was going to say Albie too.

Absolutely love it.

I love it.
