The nickname Fred or Freddie is appealing but I much prefer Fredrick in order to achieve it. Alfred still feels very old man-ish and hadn't made the "full circle" yet. Probably because I still know a few living old men named Alfred. It gives me similar vibes as Eugene or Wilfred. Not completely untouchable but still not the greatest at this time. I may change my mind in 10 years though.

Edit: forgot to include what I would name a brother and sister. Hmmm... Alfred, Emmett and Cora. That feels about right.

I love it. The meaning is fantastical but not twee.

Some combos:

---

Alfred Cosimo
Alfred Lyall
Alfred Penrose
Alfred Maxence
Alfred Maxime
Alfred Immanuel
Alfred Manolo
Alfred Ulysses
Alfred Simcha

---

Alfred, Muriel, and Giles

Don't like it at all, maybe as a mn if an honour name

I think it is acceptable but not my favourite. It would be a good cat name.

I think it’s ok. My husband’s cousin has an Alfred and a Grace.

I wouldn't use it, but it's nice for someone else. I like it. It is also a million times better than Alfie on its own.

Alfred Henry or Alfred Cormac

Alfred, Eleanor and Isabelle

I like it because of an actor I admire and a book character I love who went by Freddie, but I find it difficult to see it on a child/teenager. I dislike the nickname Alfie.

Edit to add middle names and siblings.

Alfred George
Alfred Clay
Alfred Laurence
Alfred Cecil
Alfred Simon

Alfred & Clotilda
Alfred & Carlotta
