Nice, is my friends DS2's name.

Lovely, have always liked this name.

mrsruffallo · 09/08/2009 22:41

Love it

BellBookandCandle · 09/08/2009 23:09

Not...sorry.

Makes me think of that Scottish actor (who was in Hamish Macbeth and trainspotting) as he played a really unpleasant character called Albie in an episode of Cracker.

MrsJamesMartin · 09/08/2009 23:10

Love love love

Issy123 · 10/08/2009 12:45

I have an Albert(Albie) glad to see it is viewed as trendy as my family thought it was too old fashioned.

PuppyLoves · 10/08/2009 12:59

do you get a good reaction to the name Issy?

Issy123 · 10/08/2009 13:14

Puppy Loves not everyone liked it, my mum, dad sister did not but DH's family loved it, same with friends, but I think you get that with most names. I had a more postive reaction to DS1's name but is quite popular so I suppose more accepted.

I think you have to go with what you and your DH both like and what you think will be a good name for your child as a baby and as an adult.

I thought some people might not be so keen Issy, but I still love it

DiamondHead · 11/08/2009 22:16

Yay. Albert very cool name.

rosiest · 12/08/2009 07:49

not Albert - too old, but Albie great (is DS3's name)

PuppyLoves · 12/08/2009 09:54

Did you register him as Albie rosiet? I love Albie but have only thought of it as a nn

rosiest · 12/08/2009 15:17

Yes he's registered as Albie. DH wanted Albert but I thought it was too old fashioned so we agreed on Albie. All my kids have nn type names - Teddy, Bobby, Albie! Just go with what you like - no one ever likes our names but we do thats what matters.

PuppyLoves · 12/08/2009 20:46

Teddy is another one of my favourites

strongblackcoffee · 12/08/2009 20:51

We love Albert too!
