Thoughts on Alfred...

[Mamalovesfika]

I already have a little girl called Molly and her baby brother is coming in December. Really struggling with names...we are a bilingual family so I need a name that suits both languages.

I have suddenly gone off all the names I had thought of before I found out it was a boy. Now I'm falling for Alfred. Nicknames either Alfie or Freddie which I think suit a little boy and Alfred can be used as an adult. Although I quite like it for a little boy too.

Honest opinions?

What name is it to go with ? I like it deffo love Freddie that's on my boys list

 

[Mamalovesfika]

Do you mean Middle name or sibling name? Molly is sister and I haven't thought about the Middle name yet!

Love it - both Alfie and Freddie are adorable.

 

[Dizzy dolly]

Middle hun. Though it goes well with Molly too Alfred & Molly cute

 

[JessyG]

[Eleanor ace]

I really like Alfred

 

[Milalacht]

it sounds nice. I like it.

 

[kcenn]

I like Alfred, because of Alfred Hitchcock

 

[SurpriseBub]

Jag gillar Alfred! (am I right that Swedish is language #2?)

Molly was also on our list for a long time. I think Alfred is nice, especially as Alfie is a sweet nickname in English.

It's lovely, I like it because you have an option of nicknames and a 'serious' name for the birth certificate.

I love both Alfie and Freddie and both go nicely with Molly

I have a Freddie and we have Frederick on his birth certificate to make him have a proper name option when he's older. Part of me wishes I'd chosen Alfred now

Thanks everyone! Looks like Alfred might be the one. hubby seems to be in agreement too

yes sedish is second language! Är du svensk surprisebub?

 

[SurpriseBub]

Yay! Glad hubby is on board and you both love it I think it is lovely for both bridging the two cultures, and being a good little boy and grown up name.

Jag var inte fodd I Sverige, men min hela familjen kommer fran norden. If the opportunity ever came up, I would move there in an instant!

Alfred is a nice choice! I was going to ask what the 2nd language is and seeing that it's Swedish, I have no insight to offer as to how well it goes for your second langauge but in English I like it! It's funny that my last name is Swedish but it's just so far away I have sadly no connection whatsoever to the country of origin.
