So I have finally narrowed it down to 10 names. I know they won’t be to everyone’s taste but we don’t want anymore suggestions, just your favourite out of the list.

Albie (Albert on BC)
Otto
Vinnie (Vincent on BC)
Casper
Barney
Freddie (Frederick on BC)
Arlo
Frank (Francis on BC)
Artie (Arthur on BC)
Augie (August on BC).

Arlo. Closely flowed by Artie!

Youmadorwhat · 23/02/2019 11:22

Arlo or freddie

HalfBloodPrincess · 23/02/2019 11:23

Frank (prefer Franklin to Francis) or Freddie

bridgetreilly · 23/02/2019 11:24

In order, I like:
Casper
Barney
Freddie (Frederick on BC)
Artie (Arthur on BC)
Frank (Francis on BC)
Albie (Albert on BC)
Otto
Vinnie (Vincent on BC)
Arlo
Augie (August on BC).

Fwiw, I like Albert nn Bertie a LOT more than nn Albie, so that would have gone much higher up the list. Augie sounds truly awful to me. The others are all okay but not my personal taste.

Ikeameatballs · 23/02/2019 11:26

Love Albie
Otto is ok
Love Vinnie
Caspar no
Barney ok
Love Freddie
Don’t like Arlo
Frank is cool but not for me
Love Arthur but not then Artie
Really dislike Augie, prefer Gus as non for August/Augustus

InsomniaTho · 23/02/2019 11:27

Arlo, Otto or Albie for me.

Ikeameatballs · 23/02/2019 11:27

Actually I think Albert is best then can be Albie or Bertie

abcriskringle · 23/02/2019 11:30

I love your list OP! We have similar taste!
My favourite is Barney - I love this name.

WBWIFE · 23/02/2019 11:35

Albie or freddie

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/02/2019 11:45

Augie is adorable, but do I dare say only for a child born in August.
Also IPrefer Augustus to August.
August is a bit feminine. If you don't mind me saying so.

Vincent is gorgeous, but Id never use it as I don't like Vinnie.

Barney. The dinosaur. Cute till he's about 10 after that it's a thumbs down.

Casper. Love this.

Otto. Okay neither particularly like or dislike.

Albie is adorable.

Freddie. Don't get the hype over this name. I still can't past Krueger

Artie. Awful sorry.

Frank. See Artie.

Arlo. Why does this name remind me of milk.

finallychangedmyusername · 23/02/2019 11:46

My favourites are Caspar and Arthur

Redcrayonisthebest · 23/02/2019 11:48

Ok so dislike it when parents decide a nickname before the child's even born. So with that in mind Arlo and Otto get my vote, both lovely so male names but not too common.

Raisinbrain · 23/02/2019 11:51

If I had to choose one it would be Otto.

Jaz32 · 23/02/2019 12:06

Freddie is the nicest.
Albert with Bertie instead of Albie is nice too

Twisique · 23/02/2019 12:16

Love Casper and Barney!

Changedyetagain · 23/02/2019 12:17

Love Albie

dubmumof2 · 23/02/2019 12:19

Frank, Arlo, Albie and Casper in that order...

Susannach · 23/02/2019 12:20

Otto, Casper or August

pilates · 23/02/2019 12:22

Albie, also really like Albert

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 23/02/2019 12:25

Agree that Gus is a better NN for August...

Of your list, Francis and Arthur are my favourites, with Albert a close-run third.

I detest Barney, partly because of the purple dinosaur, but also because of a very obnoxious child at work of that name.

Didyeeaye · 23/02/2019 12:31

Im another who loves Augustus nn. Gus.
From your list I really like Arthur or Freddie (Fredrick) best. I like Barnaby nn. Barney as well

MutantDisco · 23/02/2019 12:33

I have a Freddie and Bertie (Alfred and Albert). Bertie instead of Albie? (Don't like Albie).

LavenderBelle · 23/02/2019 12:59

We aren’t deciding the nickname before they’re born, it’s the name they will be called, they will just get the full name on BC in case they want something less ‘childlike’ when they get older.

Not a fan of Bertie. And our last name starts with S so can’t have Gus.
