Albert
What are your feelings toward Albert? I think Albert is creeping into my name cache. Like Giles, Victor, Claude, and Gustav, it's giving me a nineteenth-century vibe that I like at present. Albert is my great-grandfather's, grandfather's, and uncle's middle names.

I really like Albert! It's handsome and underused.

Albert is increasing in popularity in England. The accessibility of the nickname Alby is making it a viable choice for upper-middle class parents.I used to really like it. And I still have a soft spot for it but I don't feel it any more like I used to - maybe because of the above observation.I don't put it in the same bracket of Giles, Victor, Claude and Gustav.
Brothers for Albert in my mind would be Archibald, Charles, Arthur, Benedict.

I like Albert, although my interest in it does tend to peak if/when I watch something (good) about Victoria and Albert. I have it on my list, but it's not very high up, I like the history behind it, and if nns come into it Albie is adorable (actually slightly prefer it). I would like to use it as a middle, as it's kind of a mix of my grandads' names, so could work to honour both of them.

I love it! It's dashing but intellectual.

I quite like it. I think because I love Bertie so need to like Albert as I really don't like Hubert or Cuthbert (well I do but could never use it)

I LOVE Albert, the name. It sounds very elegant, something about it appeals to me. What I do like more than Albert is Adalbert. I love both of those names.

I am not into Adalbert. It never fails that every time I want to discuss a name, someone wants to push the envelope away from what I like and bring up an awkward and obscure variant.

I'm not trying to get away from Albert.. I like the name a lot. You probably just misunderstood me. I was just suggesting a name....

Also everyone would be replying to your main thread. Not mine. Mine was one reply to your message. Adalbert is a nice name in my opinion, you don't like it which is fine. Just suggesting another name. You posted a thread and everyone is going to say what they want to.
