Albert

[IrisRuby]

Thoughts on Albert?

I like it! It's a good name.

I love it, the only dilemma I would have is whether to use the nickname Albie or Bertie as I really like both.

I’ve just seen someone on another thread talking about Only Fools and Horses so that’s the first Albert that springs to mind.

Thats the name ive picked for my boy due in few weeks 😂 so obvs love it.

Im going for Albie nickname, but gramps is adamant hes calling him bertie.

Met one years ago, he will be a teenager now.

Great name - it’s got a gorgeous vintage feel and I love Albie as a diminutive.

It’s great. Many people think so because I know a good few little boys called Albert - Albie or Bertie for short

Very nice.

Excellent name.

I know a few. It's a nice name

I'm not a fan of the full name if I'm honest. I find it very formal. The nickname potential of either Albie or Bertie is a positive though.

Not my cup of tea personally. Prince Albert ( and the piercing) or Uncle Albert on Only fools and horses. The only thing that’s quite nice about it is the nn Albie.

But if you want Bertie then classic Robert is nicer imo, If you want Al then kingly Alfred is much nicer ( or timeless Alexander).

I don't like it, Albie or Bertie. Alfred is OK.

I have an 8 year old Albert - he goes by Albie... or Bert..or Albs
There's a lot of nickname potential!

I do hear of a lot more Albies now. I knew of none when he was born! I like that he has the option of Albert when he is older.

Albert is good. Bertie is good. Albie is AWFUL.

My favourite boys name. Gorgeous and great nickname potential too. Unfortunately it doesn’t work with my surname (so I I have an Alfred instead.)

Awful

I agree.

Not keen on Albert. I like Bert as a nickname though.

Love it. And also Bert/Bertie

It's one of those boys' names where I really like the full version, but strongly dislike all the diminutives. I'd only be able to use it as a middle name for that reason.

Amongst the many names I feel like that about are Patrick, Edward, Francis, Alfred and Joseph. It made choosing first names for my three sons quite difficult, but middle names were easy enough.
