Thoughts on this please due next week

Bertie ? Nothing longer that would be his registered name if so any middle name inspo we have a one syllable surname that's Irish

I think it's cute for a baby and I can picture an adult Bertie but just can't picture a teenage Bertie. But my view could be tainted because I'm Irish and the only Bertie I know is the ex Irish taoiseach!

Love it. Was near the top of my boy name list, albeit as a diminutive of Albert.

@Pomegranatemum what else was on your boy list 😜
I absolutely adore Rocky too I can't decide between the two

@PreggersWithBaby2 😂 it's such a hard decision

I reallyy don't like it , sorry, especially as the full name!

My daughter's history teacher named her child Bertram nickname Bertie and regretted it and ended up changing it

If you want Bertie though, Albert is perfectly fine and still gives him a full name for later on

It could be a shortening of Robert, too (Robert is a great name).

I think call him Albert or Robert as suggested above and nick name Bertie.

Robert?
Then you/he have a choice,

Bertie
Robbie
Bobby
Bob
Rob

Nothing longer that would be his registered name

Yet in true MN style, people are ignoring the OP and suggesting longer names....

I really like Bertie. I know one who's about 18 now and that's his full name. Really suits him.

I love Albert nn Bertie? Bertie sounds too juvenile for a standalone name for an adult man (to me).

so cute!
maybe something fairly‘plain’ for a middle name
james
john
william
angus
thomas
daniel

oh, personally prefer Bertie to Rocky

Just to reiterate 😂 it would definitely not be lengthened I can't stand Albert or Robert

Also Irish and my immediate first thought was Aherne which would put me off tbh. That aside it is a lovely name.

It’s ok when short for something but not ok on its own. It feels too much of a diminutive.

I don't think it a great formal name for an adult honestly.
So if you aren't wanting to have a more formal name as an option in the future I would keep looking.

Bertie is a great name for a dog.

All the Berties I know are dogs. I don’t like it at all, I’m afraid, not even for a dog. It’s very twee.

Same with Rocky.

I think it's awful, sorry. It's a dog's name in my opinion.

Don't name a baby, name a man. That's when he will have his name for the longest, and when it will be the most important.

Bertie is much better than Rocky.

We know a girl Bertie and it's so cute on her! Not sure what it's short for....

Bertie Ron
Berite Lee
Bertie Kai
Bertie Sol
Bertie Finn
Bertie Flynn
Bertie Tom

I think it's great! Go for it
