Like Albie...

[Pippaonesock]

DP LOVES Albie.

I really do like it too but I really don't like nn on the bc and would prefer him to have the option of a more formal name. (No offence to those who have chose more traditional nn for the full name!)

I just can't get on with Albert or Alban I'm afraid.

So if we like Albie, what else might we like?

I have been through so many lists that my head is spinning.

Alban? Albus?...

We liked Freddie but wanted a more formal name on bc. Didn't like Alfred or Frederick though so went for Wilfred. Now he actually gets called Wilf!
Barnabas/Barnaby - Barney
Arthur - Art
Alfred - Alfie
Archibald - Archie
Tobias - Toby
Reginald - Reggie
Donald - Donny
Rafferty - Raffy

Albie, Archie, Alfie are all quite trendy and may start to sound dated soon.

I would choose a more 'substantial' name personally.

Thanks for all your replies.

Don't like Albin or Albus I'm afraid. I do quite like some of the other names that have been mentioned here though so thank you. Nothing quite meeting the mark yet but a couple to ponder!

Abel?
DD is Alba and I call her "Albie" a lot which is strange now I know it's a name.
