Reggie or Albie?

[Ashleigh95]

So Iv narrowed my list down to these two names middle name will be jack,
So which do you ladies prefer?
Albie Jack or Reggie Jack?
My DS is named Brodie, thanks for reading ☺️☺️

Reggie Jack

Albie for me - lots of g noises in Reggie Jack

Reggie I think is fine as a stand-alone name, whereas Albie is awfully babyish and cutesy.

On that basis, if Albie and Reggie are the only options, then I prefer Reggie. Though I would go for Albert, with Albie as a nickname.

He won't thank you for calling him Albie when he's at secondary school or trying to enter a professional career.

I also think Albie is quite weak, whereas Reggie and Brodie are both strong names in their own right.

I would use Jack as the first name. Reggie and albie both awful

Jack is nice.

I prefer albie jack.

As shortened names or as they are?i like Albie if he has Albert to fall back on if that makes sense?

Can't you give them the actual name so the child has a choice in future?

Albert or Reginald?

Thanks for replies, Jackson was also on my list as a first name, but we preferred either Albie or Reggie, really don't like the name Albert or Reginald, I thought when they are older they could either go by Al or Reg as nicknames?

I think it’s not about choice of nicknames but choice of professional / full names. I’d also go for Albert.

Have you considered Murray? Solid name in its own right and sounds like your sort of style?

It's far better to have a formal name that is abbreviated as a child, than an informal name that has to be formalised as an adult.

Albie will be cute until he's 10. After that it will be embarrassing.

How will it be embarrassing? I know lots of men that are albie 🙄

Alban instead of Albert with the nn Albie?

Reggie! Gorgeous name

Really like albie jack.. but everyone would assume he is Albert and like you I only like albie so you'll have to decide if you always want to be saying "it's just albie"

I hate the trend for naming babies with diminutives.
Reginald and Albert are the correct names, they can be called Reg and Albie (quite like Albie, Reg makes me think of a not very bright old man).

Jack - a diminutive of John - is best of all.

Reggie still makes me think of the array twins, sorry.

Alban with nn Albie, really not a fan of either though.

I agree. Reggie and Albie a re twee and cutesy.

I like both names OP.
I personally do not understand all these comments about using a longer name..... What is the point calling a child one name and using something different. Give them the name you call them!
I think Albie just has the edge for me. Good like OP.

*Good Luck

I love Albie

Albie 💙 I wouldn't worry about needing a longer official name if you don't like it or never intend on using it. He will be at school / work with plenty of Archie's Charlie's etc so not out of place at all.

Who says he won't be a boy who hates that he has a nickname for a name? Or that he'll won't like Reggie/Albie and want to be called Egs or Lib or something else?
