Tell me your thoughts on these names please!!

Alby
Ernie
Archie

Love Ernie and Archie

I don't really like any of them, sorry OP. Alby is the best of the bunch I guess, might make a cute nn for Albert.

They all seem like very cute nicknames to me.

I don't mind Albie, Ernie would be fine as a NN for Ernest. Archie is a bit naff (sorry to all the Archie parents out there). I'm sure you'd dislike DD' name too.

All cute but, and I'm always saying this here, I would give a full version of the name of their birth certificate, because there may be a time they'd prefer to be known by a name with more gravitas.

Albie- lovely.
Archie- very popular. Not keen
Ernie- not keen

Edwin- nn Teddy or eddy or Winnie?

This is the fourth Archie thread on here I have seen in less than 24 hours so I would say from that alone that it is rather liked.

All diminutives

Ernie makes me think of the fastest milkman in the west song.

Archie from your list

I dislike Archie. Albie (dislike the 'y' spelling) and Ernie are fine as nicknames for Albert, Ernest etc. They're sweet for a little boy, not so sure for a grown man - would be good to give him some options.

Terrible. They are so babyish. Fine for a baby. What about when he’s 50?

Overly twee nicknames, I especially don’t like the spelling of Alby

I don’t like Ernest or Archibald either though tbh! Albert is the least worst

Arthur or Frederick have a similar feel but much nicer and you can use the twee nickname while he’s little but still have a proper name for when he grows out of cutesy nicknames

All horrible and chavvy. Sorry!

All a bit nicknamey to me. I think Archie is the most grown up.

I dislike all of them equally intensely.

I love Alby ( I like this spelling best) and Archie.

They all sound like diminutives. Lovely as nicknames but wouldn't use any as a full name.

Same as everyone else, they're all ok as nicknames although don't love any of them but awful as full names.

I don't like any of them although they'd be ok for a puppy.

Brilliant!

I think Ernie is super cute 🥰

Please don't saddle a child with Ernie. Just awful, Ernie the fastest milkman in the West, song by Benny Hill.

What about when he’s 50?!

That is ridiculous Archie is an old name, and no for all the full names snobs on MN, not Archibald, just plain old Archie.

I love Ernie and can guarantee I am far from a “chav”

Alby love
Ernie just doesn't sound nice
Archie v common

I do not actually no one Archie so I’m obviously in the minority.
Albie is more popular where I live
