Wilf or Albie?

[TurquoiseWeekend]

Baby is due at the end of Feb and we don't know the sex.
I thought we'd settled on Wilfred for a boy (known as Wilf). But we've decided we also quite like Albert (known as Albie).
Is Albie too much along the lines of Archie/Alfie etc? Which one is nicer?

Wilf.

Neither, sorry.

Love both!

Really dislike both, sorry.

Love them both..

Love both :)

Isn't Albie usually an abbreviation for Albert? Personally prefer Wilfred.

both are awful and you pnly like them because they are 'trendy'
they will be this generation's kevin and gary

Both awful imo

I have a Wilf!

Love the name (obviously)

Very versatile if you go for Wilfred

Wilf
Will
Fred
Freddie
Etc xx

I love albie! is one of my choices if I have a boy

I detest both. Sorry.

Albert is marginally better than Wilfred.

I think you should be guided by a pp's typo and go with Wolf. That's a cool name.

No. No no no. Just no. Not unless you are going to use the full name instead of the diminutive.

Albie 💙

I really like both Wilf and Albie! It's hard to choose between 2 such good names but I'm picking Wilf as it's less used than Albie at the moment.

I'd have to agree with Srilli on this one but each to their own.

Albie is very cutesy. I can't imagine calling a grown up "Albie".

I know two Alberts. One gets "Al" a lot. I imagine a teenage Albie would be shortened to Al by his mates.

I like Wilf, it's getting more popular.

Albert is ok. But Albie is awful

Wilf

Weirdly just posted on another thread to say Wilbur. Similar to Wilf but less popular and its lovely.

Pp are right in that they're both super popular and are a bit 'Instagram try hard'

Wilf much better than Albie. Albie very very faddy and of the moment, and quite unbearable cutesie. Although, I really just can’t bear any boys names shortened to an -ie ending. Ralphie is the worst...

Prefer Wilf. Not keen on Albie.

Albie, but i think wilf and albert ( i know albie is short but don’t mind the shortened one) are simply awful.
