Alvin James or Alby James for boy

[Hopingformydb]

I love both, is Alvin too chipmunk?? 🤣🤣🙈🙈 I really love it but also do love Alby but know its quite popular now nn

I love Aveline for girl too nn Avie

I prefer Alvin to Alby.

Alvin might be a bit chipmunk but it's better than Alby. Less cutesy.

Aveline is lovely, very elegant.

Alvin may be a bit chipmunky, but it's certainly better than Alby. I think you can get away with it! Theodore has taken off lately, and no one seems to mention chipmunks.

@dramaalpaca I know people will automatically say "and the chipmunks" when I say Alvin but I really love it 🤣🤣

Thank you I do love Aveline 💕

James

Alvin is definitely better than Alby - I feel you could always nickname him Alvy/ Alby from Alvin anyway?

Aveline is very nice.

@orphlids that's true & I love Theo as a name not simon though 🤣🤣 but Theo is way too popular now i know loads or I would have considered It

@davidsSchitt James James now that sounds perfect thanks 🙄

@SionnachRua yeah good thinking 😁😁

Oh well excuse me for the perfectly understandable mistake of thinking it was a middle name

Christ

Of the two - Albie (I'd use the more popular spelling to avoid confusion), although I much prefer it as a nickname for Albert.

Alvin is much too chipmunk, although similar Edwin is more useable I think.

If you love uncommon, short "A" names for boys, then what about Alaric? - an ancient name with a very cool/trendy feel imo.

I like Alby best, though I prefer it short for Albert. Not keen on Alvin at all.

Love Alvin! and also Calvin :) both very underrated names. Simple, classic, masculine but not boring or overdone. Great choice!

Alvin much better than Alby- Alby is far to cutesy for my taste and I don't think it works for an adult male!

Alex James is better, bit Blur though admittedly.

There's an Irish Saint Ailbhe, sometimes Anglicised as Alvy or Alby (or Elvis!).

So it's not out of the question as a standalone male name.

Alby

I know it as an adult name, so don’t think if it as ‘cutesy’.
There is a theatre director called Alby James!

Alvin is too Stardust.

Marvin?

You could use Elvin instead to get away from the chipmunk vibe.

Alvin is fine.
I personally prefer Albie (though spelt like that) as I know some lovely teenage ones.

Alvin definitely

Alvin is fine, chipmunk association isn't too strong and isn't a bad thing. I personally find Albie both too cute sounding, nicknamey and I think of "albino".

I really hate Alby. Is it even a real name? Its suddenly so popular and I don't get where it came from? It sounds like a nickname for a baby named Albert, but definitely not a suitable name for anyone over the age of 2.

I don't really like Alvin either but it's better than Alby in that at least it's a real name.

James is lovely though. Like nn Jimmy, so cute for a kid imo!

Alban is kind of cool and unusual and could have nn Alby?
