My last son we called Alfie after my DH's grandad who was called Alfred, so this time i really want to name our son after my grandad. However his name is Ralph, im not too keen on it however i love Ralphie as a middle name. I couldnt have it as a first name cos then we would have an Alfie and a Ralphie lol. I really like the name : and i love when the middle name has a family background makes it a bit more special i think anyway :.
Aww thank you hun, i wasnt too sure what people would think as its quite old fashioned! But i love my grandad and are very close to him so i know he would feel chuffed! I love Jake Ralphie, its got a nice ring to it and its extra special because it means so much to you : I wish I could use my grandads name but it was Walter and I just don't think so.
Aww thanks hun, i did want to use one of my great grandads names but they were called Ernest and Cyril, so can totally understand where your coming from! Apologies in advance to anyone who's little ones are called Jake but as a teacher secondary not primary , Jake has the reputation of being a naughty boys name Maybe the newer generation of Jakes have a different rep!

May Birth Club want to have Ralphie as a middle name for our son, what do you think? Morning to you all, My last son we called Alfie after my DH's grandad who was called Alfred, so this time i really want to name our son after my grandad. However i was thinking of having Jake Ralphie Collins surname what do you all think? Im not set on Jake so can any of you think of any other first names that would go with Ralphie?
As someone from England where there are many younger Alfie's, I am embarrassed to say this is one of our most popular names, it's a good name for a dog and that's it. My brother named his female puppy Alfie when he was 3.
I can only see this as a dog name. Alphonse, Alfonso and Alphonso can be longer names. I adore the name Alfie I think it is of the scale cute. If I ever had a baby boy I would definitely call it Alfie. Saying it out loud sounds really whiny to me. I absolutely adore this name - honestly, I do! I think it has a bouncy, friendly and slightly cheeky sound about it. It is most definitely my kind of name - it fits my taste! For the record, my son is called Alfie and I would never choose another name.
In my personal opinion I love the name and it drives me insane when people say to me "Oh, is it short for Alfred? Everyone is perfectly entitled to their own opinion on whether they like a name, but please think and keep it to yourself as it might cause unnecessary upset to people.
Thank you. We as a wholesome people should praise, exalt, immortalise, glorify, and hail this name. If thou has not kissed the feet of this name, then thou hast sinned against all beings. This name has no reason to be hated on, and is the most beautiful, splendid, humble, and adorable name in all of English.
I personally dislike Alfie as a full name and I much prefer Alfred. There are so many little Alfies running around, thus, there would be at least two other Alfies in his classes at school. I don't understand why people find this name cute or appealing.
It should always be short for Alfred or Alfreda. My name's Alfie and I quite like it. My first name is Macauley, but I don't use it because I hate it. So I use Alfie, which is my middle name. Sure I'm 16 now and maybe it's not as cute as when I was 5, but hey, it's fine really. The name Alfie was given to 19 boys born in the US in In my opinion Alfie sounds terrible, Alfred sounds much better in my opinion!
I'm not trying to be mean to anyone with the name. The name Alfie is quite popular here in the UK. I named my son after my Great Grandfather, Alpheus I love the name Alfie, though we expect him to call himself Al or Alf later in life. Why is Alfie such a common name nowadays? Fair enough if it's a nickname, but what's wrong with Alfred?
Sorry for the rant there, but I know a boy named Alfie who goes by Alfred because he thinks Alfie sounds babyish. The most popular is Poppy. Fictional bearer. Alfie from Gordon Korman's "Titanic" trilogy. I think this is a really cute name. In England I know this is very popular, but in the US it hasn't charted so it would be an unusual choice, but I may use it one day.
I think it can still age well. Chris Wolstenholme's Muse bassist eldest son is called Alfie. I don't know if it's his real name or a nickname for Alfred. I always thought it was a nickname for Alfred I don't really like it as a full name.
It sounds kind of childish and super British.
