What do you think of Albert?

[mersmam]

As a boys name obviously
Honest opinions please!!

Love it!

not keen
would you call the baby Bertie maybe or Albie? both of which I don't like

like it x

That is encouraging
We're really struggling with boy's names and it seems to be all me and DH can agree on - still not 100% sure though and wanted some opinions!

Probably would not shorten it Compo - I'm not too keen on the shortenings either.

Not a lot, sorry. Just makes me think of a baby with a bunnet and pipe.

But Wheesht - noone could ever get depressed in life if they had a baby with a bunnet and pipe

My dad was called Albert. Would love to name a boy after him DH wouldnt agree.

The nickname bert does put me off though

True mersmam

Oh Allie is a nice shortening Lockets - would not have thought of it.

I like Allie

Love it. It was our boy's name but i've had 2xDD's.

My DS2 is called Albert he is 2 months old, we have had a mixed reaction some love it some don't. We call him Albert or Albie I prefer that to Bertie. My DS1 is called Henry.

I love it.

However, in Worcester it tends to be pronounced 'Olbert' for some strange reason, and as we have a lot of family with broad ooharr accents we discounted it for that reason.

Hate it.

Love it

There is a divine Albert in DD's class. He is 7 and from Spain and he is pronounced Al-bearrrr. He is so gorgeous he has made me love the name!
I also like Ally / Allie as a shortened version - I wouldn't have thought of that. Nice.

Love it Albert and Albie but also love Arthur

My immediate thought was 'genital piercing' but that probably says more about me than the name.

I love Albie but not sure about Albert. It is my name for DC3 that I am trying to persuade my DH to have with me - but he has booked a vasectomy.

A lot of people seem to like it so that's encouraging!
Tidey - not sure where that idea comes from and probably best you don't tell me as I may go off the name for good...

I love this name and love it shortened to Bertie. Makes me think of the Kate Bush song about her son called Bertie - realise this could put a lot of people off but I think the words are so sweet "you bring me so much joy and then you bring me more joy". I am trying to persuade DH to go with Albert if we have a boy but he isn't keen.

Tidey - I thought of that too but there can't be many more people out there like us, mersmam.

I love it - it is on my short list too.

Sorry, I thought of genital piercings too .
