New name added to our (very short) list. How many Albies do you know?

Full name would be Albert.

I don't know any but I absolutely love the name

MikeUniformMike · 25/02/2018 11:40

I dislike it, and Albert isn't very nice. Sorry.

Lulue45 · 25/02/2018 11:46

That’s fine Mike I was asking how many people know not if they like it but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Don’t know any but DS was nearly Albert, NN Bertie! I loved it but husband not so keen

Don't know any, love Albert, it was on my boy list. Prefer Bertie to Albie, though.

TallulahBetty · 25/02/2018 13:23

I know 3 in our small town.

Slapdasherie · 25/02/2018 13:25

I know an Albie, but it’s short for Albertine.

PaddlingShoes · 25/02/2018 13:28

I love it and I know a three week old Albie too!

Alisvolatpropiis · 25/02/2018 13:41

I think it’s dreadful, sorry.

pangolinga · 25/02/2018 15:42

Someone somewhere is going to decide that Albert should be known as Bertie or, erm, Bert.

Lulue45 · 25/02/2018 15:49

I quite like Bertie too actually so that’s a potential nn anyway

I don't know, Albie and Bertie sound like babies or toddlers, while Albert sounds like an old man.

MrsBartlettforthewin · 25/02/2018 16:00

I teach one who is nick named Bertie. Love Albie as a nick name

TammySwansonTwo · 25/02/2018 16:01

I really wanted to use it, DH vetoed it. I would probably have used Bertie though as any time I hear Albie I think “racist dragon”

Sorry, my phone went funny! I currently know one Albie and there was one in my son's preschool.

Arapaima · 25/02/2018 16:05

I know one Albert (not shortened) and one Bertie. Both age 8.

The only Albie I know is a dog!

whatstheplanphil · 25/02/2018 16:07
