I don't like the syllable "bert" in any name, and probably never shall.

:( Sorry I made you feel that way on this day!Bert just reminds me of a combination of burp and fart. I really dislike it!

LOLahhh now I will think of burps and farts when I come across the name Bert. I like Bert, it does have a burble to it, but it seems like a nice guy burp for me. Like a jolly man with a beard and fuzzy sweater with a nice round chortle to his voice. It's all good!

AddendumI will make an exception for Gilbert, though. I do like that one.

I really do not consider it a place name, and I have a high affinity to it. The pairing is balanced, and quite lovely.

Love, love, love. I think it's so neat and smart and quirky. My top combo for a while has been Elizabeth Alberta / Alberta Elizabeth. I think it goes well in your combo with June. Very folksy but without sounding cliche, you know? I'm not huge on Alba. It's sweet and I can see the appeal but I'm so into Alberta that the comparison feels like apples and oranges. :-) Still, though, I think if you're looking for a nickname it has more charm than the other alternatives that come to mind.

Alba is mostly just if she didn't like Alberta. I'd be willing to let her go by June as well, maybe even before Alba, because June was my grandmother's mn but she went by it as well. But this is all super hypothetical considering I'm only 20, haha.

Frankly, I think it's very ugly. Alba is better. Alba June is a nice combo.

Alba June is nice, but it kind of misses my point. Thanks, though.
