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?

Cockapoo, maltipoo, jackshund.. or a cat. Male equivalent of Bella.

I do think of Alfie Moon, and i think the character has made it more widely known. But as the character is generally a likeable character it wouldn't put me off.

I know two dogs and a cat called Alfie so that's what I think of lol

Wow lots of opinions! To clarify, I was thinking it would be short for Alfred, when he is a kid - so when he is older he could go by Alfred/Al/Alf etc

But I don't want a name that makes people think of council estates and mums in PJs yelling in the supermarket!

Round where I live there are a lot of Alberts but not met any Alfreds yet.

There's currently a woman yelling it outside my house, along with "Get here now ya little "

My golden retriever is Alfie, he’s lovely, it’s not a name I hear often now. I have a colleague whose son is Alfie but he’s in teens now I think. I’m a paeds nurse so hear loads of names in my clinic daily (babies - 5yo) Alfie isn’t popular at the moment but Albert ‘Bertie’ seems to be. Magnus too, George and Louis wonder why lol teddy too.

Snap. I think of Alfie as a pet's name.

It makes me think of a little blonde boy, probably a bit naughty. Or my friends beautiful golden retriever

It makes me think of Michael Caine.

'Alf' makes me think of my Grandad, slippers and a pipe.

Alf is even worse





It won't let me post a picture of Alf...

My Grandad was an alf.
I still associate it with toddlers. Can't imagine a grown up Alfie.

Lots of Alfie’s here. It’s common but not common as in ‘chavvy’. I liked Arthur but didn’t end up with a boy.

Yes unfortunately Alfie from Eastenders but luckily without the accent people would out on Bianca or screech like Rickkkkkky

Dogs

A dog.

What’s it all about, Alfie?

It’s common but not common as in ‘chavvy’

I do think it's becoming 'chavvy'

It's ok for a child, maybe not so much as they grow up?

It's a cute name on a child, but not a name I'd take seriously on an adult male.
