HelpRe: Alfred
in reply to a message by Vraiment
Alfred the Great was the name of a kangaroo rat I had in first grade. Happy memories.
Alfred conjures up the English king who brought light and learning into Dark Age Britain. Why ever not? Nn Alf / Alfie is adorable. I also like female variants Alfreda (nn Freda? Alva?) and Elfreda (nn Elvy?).
I saw a dramatization of a Miss Marple story, "4:50 from Paddington." There was a family, the Crackenthorpes, and all of the children had Anglo-Saxon era names like Cedric, Alfred, Emma and I think Edmund. (If I got any of those wrong, I hope someone will correct it.) Anyway, I thought it was a charming, subtle theme for siblings.
