Baby boy names - Freddie, Oscar, Magnus, Albie

[kat0107]

Hello! Would love some thoughts on the names below - which do you like best? Thanks so much

Freddie (full name Frederick)
Oscar
Magnus
Albie (full name Albert)

Frederick, nn Freddie

I love Magnus and Oscar, not keen on Freddie and Albie, they don't seem finished to me. Not liking the full versions of the names.

How about Casper?

Oscar or Freddie

Thank you, I like Casper too, although might have convincing to do with my DH!

Casper will always be the ghost for me

In order of preference:
Freddie
Oscar
Albie
Magnus

Allie is too Eastenders

Casper will always be the ghost for me

I suspect this is the feedback that I might get from my husband too - Felix was dismissed on account of it being the cat!

Just thought of Silas

@Scoobydoobydo

Allie is too Eastenders

Oops Albie

Magnus is my favourite.
I like Oscar but it's very popular.
Albie would be my second favourite because the one I know (age 16) is very nice.

Like all of them except Oscar

Magnus is very strong and fits in with the liking for scandi culture

Albie is cute

Freddie is the more popular out of these 3. Wondering if this name may have peaked in popularity a couple of years ago?

I personally would rule out Albie as I can't imagine it suiting throughout life for most people.

Magnus and Oscar are both great.

I think with Freddie I would go with Frederick with Freddie as a nickname, so your son has a name that doesn't seem abbreviated for job applications etc if needed. So it depends on how you feel about Frederick? I think I prefer both Magnus and Oscar.

Magnus is ace

Freddie (full name Frederick) - love Frederick. It sounds so handsome and distinguished but I don't like Freddie at all. It sounds whiny to me. I do like Fred though

Oscar - lovely name, dh vetoed because of Oscar the grouch though

Magnus - gorgeous, strong, handsome name

Albie (full name Albert) - dislike sorry

Either Oscar or Magnus are great. Both full names, both have good, snappy short forms (Mag/Mags, Osc), both classic. I'd go for Magnus but both are excellent.

Freddie/ Albie - just A.N.Other of the tidal wave of slightly childish, baby-boy ish 'ie' ending names. They will very much date him to this era, especially Albie (interchangeable with the ubiquitous Alfie and Archie). Just not as good.

Not a fan of Casper, mainly because I don't think Caz or Cass is a good nn for a boy.

In order of preference
Frederick
Oscar
Albert (although I’m not keen on Albie - much prefer Bertie)
Magnus - I don’t like this one, it’s a bit poncy

Like them all except Magnus, it feels so try hard to me.

I like them all, in this order:

1. Magnus
2. Oscar
3. Albie/Albert
4. Freddie/Frederick

Thanks so much everyone! Any other ideas welcomed too

I used to love Magnus but the one I know is an a-hole in the making.

So... Frederick.

Ahhh thank you! Love Henry and Hector, but we have an H surname and I’m not too big on alliteration. Really like Otis and Jude from your list too!
