Thoughts on Albie

[Mysteriously]

What do you think? Albie would be full name rather than Albert which I'm not so keen on

It's not that I don't like Albert but I'm not sure if I like it enough to use it, it's starting to grow on me. Albie can be spelt Alby which I think looks a bit less cutesy but I'm not sure

I prefer Alby.

It sounds like a short nickname from a longer 'proper' name. Im not keen.

Alby and Albie are equally awful imo.

I prefer Albert to Albie however if you like it why not? We loved the name Agatha, Aggie for short, everyone else hated it but now they can't imagine DD being called anything else so if you think it's the right name then that's all you need.

And tbh when he's born you may think no that's not the name for him, our DS has a completely different name now to what we decided on when I was pregnant.

Too cutesy

I know an irish boy with the Irish spelling Ailbe. I really like it but Albie in general seems to be getting quite popular

It is ok for a baby and little boy not so much a grown man's name.

Imagine meeting an adult Albie of imagine be your husband as an Albie?!

It sounds cute on a little toddler but lacks strength for a grown man imo.

Really don’t like it. Sorry OP.

@WeShouldOpenABar I came on to say the exact same thing.

Gahhh.. off for a listen to the hipphopopottumus

I agree with it being too cutesy - cute on a baby, but probably a bit silly for a teenage boy. Worth considering when thinking about names - they are life long.

He will be Al as a teenager id have thought , or albs. People shorten whatever you start with. Unlesx you pick a really short name, then they lenghten it.

Albie reminds me of Caben-Albi, the son of Stephanie Davis.

I make no comment on whether this is a good or bad thing.

Albs is really ugly imo

Albus is fine as the long version OP if you prefer it to Albert go for it

Albie reminds me of Caben-Albi, the son of Stephanie Davis

I make no comment on whether this is a good or bad thing

If you won’t then I will 😂 awful!!!
Albie is bad enough but Caben-Albie...wtf were she and the dad thinking?!?!

I liked it before it started becoming really popular and now it is starting to lose its shine for me, like all names once they get into the top 50. This will be a top 10 name soon and for the next 20 years, mark my words. It's an ok name but just bare that in mind. I already know 5 little Albies.

It’s a child’s name, not a mans name iyswim.

Glad I’m not the only one who thinks of racist dragons and badly burned Albanian boys...

Bobbiepin....that is so funny. Our son is called Albert but when he was born I was Team Bertie, my husband was Team Albie , I won, good job really as he has never been in trouble and his a sweetheart .

I used to work with an Ailbe. He was Irish and I’m pretty sure that was his proper name.

I really don't see how Albie/Teddy/Alfie/Archie etc sound too cutesty for teenagers or adults. What about names like Danny, Henry, Tony, Jimmy?

I really like the suggestion of Alban. A solid sounding name that lends itself to the nickname of Albie.

You don’t see how Teddy is too cutesy for an adult?
