Re: Albert
in reply to a message by hylo
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.
