What does the name Alfie make you think of?

[Poppy2421]

I think its a classic boys name and its one of my current favourites. My husband says he just thinks of Alfie Moon from Eastenders and thinks its a bit of a common name for that reason. I've never watched Eastenders so don't have these connotations! Will everyone else?

This would totally be my first impression. That and a bit of casual shoplifting and terrorising old ladies. Sorry.

As an adult Alfie suggests a bit boyish cheeky chappie / mischievous and not to be taken too seriously - so not sure how well it works in a work environment. Shortened to Alf and makes me think of a great uncle who would be about 106 now !

I think it sort of works for a child ( but very popular and loads around) but as an adult not really.

Think Alfie Moon Eastenders , Cilla Black Alfie - very 60s - sorry

That fluffy brown thing from space who lived with the American family and liked biscuits and roast cat.
Nothing else.

Niche, but Becoming More Like Alfie by the Divine Comedy. I’ve got it stuck in my head now.

Honestly- I think it is a bit naff!

This and then Alfie Allen getting his dick cut off in Game of Thrones 😃

Michael Caine.

Quite common and regularly the "naughty child" along with Archie!

This. It's the Wayne and Kevin of this generation...!

It's the opposite of an elegant classic name! I really dislike it strongly.

Alfred is nice. But I have an allergy to people giving their kids nicknames as their proper name.

I watch Eastenders but I didn't think of Alfie Moon. I think Alfie is a traditional boys name. Inoffensive. It's nice.

A name chosen when you've run out of ideas.

Michael Caine, Jude Law. Philanderer. Overused.

Michael Caine.

He played the lead role as “Alfie” in the 60s film of the same name. Alfie was a rotter (with charm) and a misogynist.

A cute name I suppose for little boys, but not so much for an adult male.

Very common round here...
As for stereotype, I know
The Good- DS friend, lovely polite boy
The Bad - nephew, he's just a spoilt brat.
The Ugly- obese kid in the neighbourhood, with curly ginger hair & piggy eyes. He'd probably be ok if he'd loose weight and had a proper haircut.

I immediately thought of a lovely little boy “old for his years” in that very endearing way, with freckles.

Then I read the other posts and remembered Alfy Moon. I wouldn’t let that put me off

It's the most popular boys name in the school I work at and most of them are little sh*ts.
Any time I hear the name, in my head I hear Kat slater screaming it

Very common and 'downmarket'

What does the name Alfie make you think of?

2009-2011 when every other small boy (so lads born 2003-2006)had this name, inexplicably, and it was never short for anything. I quite like Alfred (xH firmly rejected that one) but not short for Alfred either. Literally a complete suddenly everywhere popular name, everyone seem to insist they had their own unique reasons to love it and it was obviously a great name choice for many.

The naughty child at school.

very popular (and overused) at the moment!

Not a name for a grown man.

I prefer Adam
or Alfred with the nn Freddie.

Absolutely this.

Followed by Alfie Moon

I agree it’s a cheeky chappy/naughty name.
