What does everyone think of Albert for a name but shortened to Bertie. Was thinking either Albert Jack or Albert William.

Bertie? not sure if is a name that belongs to anyone below the age of 70, unless they are made of licorice, sorry

Issy123 · 30/07/2009 20:01

Really nice prefer Albie to Berite, but like both. Goes well with both your middle names.

lovechoc · 30/07/2009 20:03

Not very keen on this name, sorry.

I do like Bertie though, but I keep thinking of licorice....yum.

Albert William. Great name. It's solid, manly and Bertie is cute for a kid too.

Albert is lovely and I wanted to call ds2 that, but H didn't like it. Albert William is great.

Lovely! My 18 month old son is Albert and he gets called Albert or Albie, occasionally Bertie. We get so many nice comments about his name. Pretty old fashioned but we love it! :-)

susie100 · 31/07/2009 14:20

I love it

hobbgoblin · 31/07/2009 14:22

Love Albert. Also know a couple of Berties and adore the nn. Also like Al, so all in all a lovely name with lovely variations.

KingRolo · 31/07/2009 14:23

Great, I'm having it if I have a boy. Prefer Albie for short though.

MamaLazarou · 04/08/2009 15:21

Bertie is a smashing name. I am a big fan of PG Wodehouse!

Love Albert. Would prefer Al or Albie for a nickname as opposed to Bertie.

HensMum · 04/08/2009 15:31

Oooh, lovely. I'd go with Bert or Bertie as a nickname.
I think Albert William is nicer than Albert Jack (Jack looks a bit odd next to Albert, a bit nicknamey IYKWIM)

DiamondHead · 04/08/2009 15:41

I think it is wonderful.

screamingabdab · 04/08/2009 16:03

I like it

Aldert Nigel sounds good, too

Love Love Love Albert .. now to persuade DH

RetroMum1 · 05/08/2009 10:01

I love it and always wanted to call a DS Bertie but DH vetoed it so we have used it for the dog instead and we are now the proud owners of an Old English Sheepdog called Albert.

I know he's a dog but lots of people do comment on what a nice name it is.

Ladyem · 05/08/2009 13:18

Love it!

CillySunt · 05/08/2009 16:00

I like Albert but not Bertie.

BitOfFun · 05/08/2009 16:06

Love it. Know an Albie (adult), very nice he is too.

Jemima123 · 05/08/2009 16:31

Like Albert William too, but Bertie is my future dog's name I'm afraid! Albie is very sweet and sounds classy in my opinion
