Albie or Arlo ?

[HappyNYEvery1]

What do we think of Albie or Arlo?

Personally loving them, my only issue is I can picture a baby, young child and older man with the name... but not a teenager or young adult!

I do love the names but I’m worried will he suit it when he’s a teenager / young adult?

Anyone else loved names like these and named their child it without worry!

Could not agree more as I previously stated I named DS1 Archie after my grandfather who was just Archie.
He was a solicitor and his “nicknamey” name did not hold him back at all in his life.

OP pick your favourite! These names are unpopular on mumsnet but actually very well liked in real life

Albert

Wow can’t believe some of these comments 😂😂😂 I love both of these names! Personally I think some people are very dull and boring with their name choices. I wouldn’t want my child to have the same name as 5 plus others in their year. I do not feel it’s pretentious in any way. And I have no idea how people are saying Albie is awful! Both of these names are well liked in real life. I would ignore the comments and go with what you love. My grandad was called Albie and it’s very much a real name. I also know a 30 year old Albie who is a solicitor and has no problems with his ‘cutesy’ name. Also all names are ‘trendy’ to a degree. They come back round in popularity. At least it’s not going to be on the same top 20 list for 5 plus years 😂 Neither are super trendy, awful names at all. Ignore 💙

Rebecca Adlington just named her new baby boy Albie! So either you are on trend OP or congratulations Rebecca!

I really like them both! I think I prefer Albie a little tiny bit more just because I know more arlo's than Albie's! X
