Re: Alfie
in reply to a message by elysa
Alfie is a common full name for boys in the UK, though I much prefer Alfred nn Alfie.
It also reminds me of the Shirley Hughes books with Alfie and little sister Annie Rose.

I loved those books!but it does mean that every time I see another little Alfie, I think of that series!
I also prefer it as a nn for Alfred, but I don't think I've ever met an Alfie who didn't have it as a full name.

Me too! Alfie and Annie-Rose are one of my guilty pleasure sibsets. =D I really like Alfie and think it stands well enough on its own though I'd also prefer it as a nn for Alfred because it sounds that much more distinguished on an adult.
