Help[Opinions] Re: Alfred (& others)
in reply to a message by Bex
I like Alfred though it is not a name I would use myself. It is among the top 50 among today's babies in Sweden.
George is more middle-aged to me. I guess b/c the men with corresponding Swedish variant Göran are middle-aged incl our prime minister Göran Persson. Not to mention George Bush! Geordie is cute though!
But I don't know anyone named Alfred, so this is an old-fashioned but fresh name to
me.
I would name Alfred's kids Philippa and Timothy.

I learned my lesson well.

So you got to please yourself."
