[Opinions] Alfred
WDYT of Alfred?What would you use as a middle name and what would you name a brother and sister? **After supposedly dying on January 30, 2007 after eating tainted pancakes, she returned several times as an angel and was revealed to be alive on May 17, 2011. )**

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 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 CormacAlfred, 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
