Albert or Arthur?

[OneOfEach2]

Just that really. Which do you prefer? His middle name will be James with a double barrelled but not complicated surname.

I like Art and Bert as shortenings.

I prefer Arthur.

Arthur definitely

Albert

Arthur 100%

Albert- albi is cute.

Really not keen on Albie - I know once he starts school we won't have any influence on nicknames though. Which is a stumbling block for choosing Albert.

Arthur.

Arthur, not keen on Albert.

Arthur

Oh then I’m that case maybe Arthur- to me I just think billie faiers

Arthur

I met the world's cutest little boy yesterday who was called Arthur - Artie for short. We had a nice long conversation about the bin being dirty and his blue socks (I think he was about 2).

@iklboo ah I love stories like that. I'm very drawn to Art as a name in its own... OH isn't quite sold though.

I love both names
Arthur. Art

Albert. Bertie

Much prefer Arthur.

Albie is nicer than Artie though....

Also Bert and Bertie are lovely too

I have an Albert- goes by Bertie as a daily name, Berts, B and The Great Alberto affectionately.

Personally I still love it- never had a minutes regret- but it is a marmite name.

I like Art and Bert. Bertie is ok but I don't tend to like names that end in 'ie' or 'y' so wouldn't necessarily plump for Artie either.

I definitely prefer Arthur. I don't really like Albert or any of its diminutives.

Arthur-James matches a lot more than Albert and flows more too, definitely Arthur

Sorry, neither. Arnold?

Albert
