Albert Robert

[LW678]

Love the name Albert for a first name (mainly because this is the only name me and the Husband can agree on!) and Robert will always be the middle name. But does Albert Robert sound too similar?

I dont think so, and often they are not called by their first and middle names, besides that I think it sounds lovely :)

Albert Robert sounds odd sorry @LW678 The 2 'berts' on the end sound weird.

If Roberts was the surname it would be of the same ilk as Bill Williams, David Davies etc but barely anyone will know his middle name really - will come up in admin situations but other than that not really past primary school. If Robert is special for you then that probably trumps the opinions of others.

It sounds okay to me. But it doesn’t matter, people so rarely use the middle names. If it has meaning, go for it.

I think it sounds fine, like others have said middle names are hardly used and often have a sentimental value. I think Albert is a GORGEOUS name for a baby boy :)

It's cute - Bertie Bob!

I think it's fine.
Albert is especially lovely

Can you put something in the middle- so Albert James Robert or similar?

I do think they’re too similar otherwise….

I think it sounds odd, and a bit redundant. They're only two letters different.

Could Albin work at all?

Nn Bertie is much nicer than Albert.

Sorry OP but I wouldn’t choose them together either as they both have the nickname Bert so are obviously very similar - although they are both lovely, particularly Albert.

I’d pick one and save the other for another son potentially.

But having said that, we chose questionable middle names (our parents’ names which aren’t the nicest) but we wanted to honour family members. So we clearly don’t care that much about middle names. However, we did avoid a first name beginning with the same letter as one of our parents’ names to avoid the alliteration.

Ithink they are a bit too similar - the two "bert" endings sound a bit odd, sorry.

BUT, but but but, could you add another middle name? Albert Peter Robert Surname (for example) sounds great, I'd do that.

That’s all for your suggestions. It’s so hard as we dont want to confide in family and friends as we’d be giving the name away. Love the idea of adding another middle name though to break it up!

Ithink they are a bit too similar - the two "bert" endings sound a bit odd, sorry.

I agree - Albert Robert sounds a little silly

Also think the 2 ‘Bert’ is not great. Absolutely love Albert. Can’t you save Robert/ Roberta for the next child (if you are having more). If you are using Robert as it’s a family name could the ‘Bert’ part not be a nod in that direction anyway? Also previous posters suggestion of adding in another middle name to break it up improves the flow considerably.

It doesn't go well together it's the two Bert parts

I think it's lovely.

It doesn't flow all that well but he'll be Albert or Albie Surname most of the time.
Is Albin a name? It's awful.

Albert Robin flows better, but I wouldn't comment on Albert Roberts, so I don't think it's an issue. FWIW, I much prefer Robert to Albert.

Don't add another name.

They don’t roll off the tongue easily but first and second names are rarely used together in reality

I love both Albert and Robert but I think I’d shy away from using them together because they both end in Bert. I like the suggestions of Albert Robin or Albert James Robert.

Yeah, too many Erts.

I'd say don't give up on a name you like because it doesn't flow smoothly with the middle name which will never be used anyways.
If you like Albert Robert - go for it!

Nobody ever uses middle names along with their first name so it really really doesn't matter. Many New parents seem to think the names need to flow and that also need to match their siblings names but it's pointless.

Having said that, I think Albert Robert is great though. If I was his Auntie I mig
Ht be tempted to call him Bertie Bob though 😅

James is so boring as a middle name. Love it as a first name but it's the Rose/May/Grace middle name for boys.

Sorry OP, I just see/hear Bert Bert

Far too similar to use together so you either need a different first name or a different middle name
