I like a lot of Al- names such as Alexander, Alfred, Alec and Alistair.

---

I don't like Alfie as a full name, it looks childish.

I don't like Alfie at all. It may be cute for a little kid, but it's not a really mature name.

---

Of all the full name possibilities, without needing the middle name to create 'Alfie', I like Alvar and with a little imagination Ralf.

Ideas:
Aloysius Filemon (see Philemon)
Alain Filip
Alister Filibert
Alex Fidelis
Alexis Philander
Albert Phineas
Alexander Phoenix

It sounds ultra-childish. I don't even know why this name is so popular in the UK. It wouldn't suit any boy over the age of 10 - I can't picture an adult with this as a name or even a nickname. It's along the lines of Mikey and Benjy - something that suits a little kid and not an adult.

I think it could work, even though I prefer Alfred "Alfie".

---

But with your idea, I would go with Alexander Felix. Or Alexander Finn.

Filip or Filipe work as middle names. How about...

---

Albert Filip
Aldous Filipe (this one kind of made me laugh out loud, so maybe not a good combo)

---

Allan
Alexander
Alastair / Alasdair
Alden
Alec
Alton

---

Finnegan
Finley

I know Finnegan and Finley don't have that FEE sound, but personally I don't think it'd be too much of a stretch to pull the nn Alfie from them.

My cousins name is Alfie, he's 10. His name is just Alfie, it's not a nickname. I can't think of any boys names which start with the sound 'fee'. The only names I can think of with that sound are Ffion and Fiona.

The 'fie' sound (I say it to rhyme with dry) doesn't really work because Alfie is al-FEE not al-FIE.
