William, Eric or Albert? Help me to choose

Has anyone been through a situation where you cannot decide on your baby boy name because you like three names all the same?
I live in the UK and would like a British name but with an international feel. I think these 3 names fit that, however I cannot decide on one. Which of these 3 would you choose? Eric? William? Albert? Why? Please don’t give me a 4th option as it would make my life even harder. :-) I appreciate your comments and insights! 😘

I love William but I'm biased.

So what have an Albert so am biased and he isn't shortened ti anything and I suspect won't be as there are Albies in his class so won't go that way. I am not a fan of Eric and William is fine just a bit dull I always think.

You live in the UK - what is your place of origin that may influence child's name? You don't have to give a British name if you are not British

what is British for you? Someone who has an Italian surname and was born in Britain, certainly is not Italian, right? 😂
