Albert

I like them all but feel that Arthur and Henry have perhaps had their day in terms of popularity. Albert sounds fresher and I love the nn Bertie.

Arthur is my favourite- a gorgeous vintage classic that sounds modern too.

Henry is my second favourite- another lovely classic.

Albert is also a nice, vintage choice and I like Albie as a short version. I’m not quite as keen on it as your other two choices but it’s a good name.

They’re all great, but Albert is best as it’s not so popular.

Henry

Henry feels the least trendy to me of the 3 so would be my preference- I know ones of varying ages. I feel that most of the Albert’s and Arthur’s are fairly young ( or Great - Grandads!).

Purely in terms of sound I’d put Henry and Arthur equal - but I much prefer the sound of similar Alfred to Albert ( Bert is a bit harsh imo).

Oh 3 Regal names, nothing wrong with any of them.

My favourite is Albert, it sounds good on its own and gives good choices of nicknames, Al,,Ally, Bert, Bertie. If they want to change it as they get older.

Henry, sounds very stuffy, I can't even think of any Henry's that I've come across but I've known a few Harry's and I quite like Harry.

Arthur again sounds stuffy and old fashioned and doesn't really shorten, other than Art, and Art Garfunkle is the only Art I can think of.

So my favourite has to be Albert!

Arthur, followed by Henry. I'm not a fan of Albert.

I don't like Albert at all, just as a collection of sounds. I like both the others but slightly prefer Arthur.

Arthur but I'm biased

Arthur or Henry. Are you naming a royal? Smile
Albie and Bert are awful.
