Albert or Arthur?!

So I've hit my due date, no baby and still no name 😩 I think we have narrowed our list down to these two. What are peoples opinions?! Or if anyone else has any suggestions on an old style name beginning with a I'd love to hear it! Thank you in advance x

I prefer Arthur from those two names.
What about Alfred?

lvra · 12/04/2020 16:20

A close family member has an Alfie so that ruled out Alfred unfortunately 😩

I like both, though not the nickname Al. So I guess I'd pick Arthur. How about Ambrose? I think it's slightly awesome!

Arthur is really common at the moment. In Top Ten. Every second boy is Arthur.

I don't really like either really (sorry)

BillieEilish · 12/04/2020 16:25

Ambrose is great !

Albert, I love Bertie

I like both but prefer Arthur I would say. I know two little cousins called Arthur and Bertie and they’re so much fun.

Like both but prefer Bertie or Albie .

Positevibes · 12/04/2020 17:36

I think Arthur is super cute

Whatsyourflava · 12/04/2020 17:48

I really love Arthur! ❤️❤️❤️
Not met one yet though I appreciate it’s getting more popular

Whatsyourflava · 12/04/2020 17:48

If not arthur how about Otis or Seth

Peachbubble · 12/04/2020 19:08

Arthur

InkogKneeToe · 12/04/2020 19:10

I have an Arthur (under 3 years old) and we've only ever met one other

Arthur

MummaSt · 12/04/2020 19:55

Arthur

MollyPea · 12/04/2020 20:01

Arthur’s cute but possibly getting a bit popular? If you don’t mind that though then go for it!

toughgetsgoing · 14/04/2020 10:09

Arthurs got better nickname potential, but like both

Pantheon · 14/04/2020 10:17

I prefer Arthur. I think it's because my dd has a little friend called Arthur, so I'm biased!

Midnightdream · 14/04/2020 10:36

I prefer Albert. DS has a boy in his class called that and its lovely. Never met Albert before. I actaully love Alberto(currently 15 weeks and is on my list)

daisypond · 14/04/2020 10:51

Arthur is popular. I know several primary school-aged ones. Albert seems a bit behind the curve already as well, just that style of name.
Aldous
Arnold

GetTheSprinkles · 14/04/2020 10:57

Both are lovely. I think you have more scope for cute nicknames with Albert (Albie, Al, Bertie)
Alf always makes me think of that brown alien guy

87Callista · 14/04/2020 18:37

Albert x

mglk · 14/04/2020 19:32

I Love the Name Arthur as it is my nephews name

Emthebaker · 14/04/2020 19:52

I have an Arthur and have only met one other. I always get compliments on his name, too Smile

Astronica · 15/04/2020 00:08
