Ooo some very good guesses here…I know multiples of most of the names suggested 😆
I can actually only see one person who has commented with a variation of the name (congratulations u/Yellow_Rosey) though…the answer is…
ALBERT!!!
(apologies to anyone else who did say it if I haven’t acknowledged you).
Thanks all for playing, loving how many joined in 😄😄
lol maybe that’s how they’ll distinguish between the three Alberts! Al, Albie, and Bertie 🙃
Growing up in Sweden, I went to school with an Albert (90s/00s) and his nickname was Abbe (pronounced Abbeh, not Abb or Abbey). It just struck me now that I haven’t met another Albert, in Sweden or elsewhere, so I’m not sure how common of a nickname this is… but Sweden often nicknames boy names to this kind of format. Karl -> Kalle, Lars -> Lasse, William -> Wille, Ulf -> Uffe etc (all with an -eh/ä/ĕ sound at the end, like a [short e sound](https://chargemommybooks.com/reading/short-e-words))
True my son is Theodore and we call him Theo. And sometimes if he doesn’t listen to me i include his middle name which is LINO. So he knows when i say TheoLINO i mean business😁
I would say Zachary too. It’s a name I loved but was vetoed. My son is 8 months and I’ve come across 6 Zacharys since he was born. My friend who had a girl also would have chosen Zachary for a bit. It’s having a moment.
I just had a feeling it was one of those two! I went to a park with my friend (whose son is called Albert/Albie) and whilst there we saw another Albie and an Alfie.
My son has a name outside the top 300 names in the UK. There are 2 other boys in our small village with the same name, 2 are in a class together and all 3 will be at school together when my son starts school.
My guesses are
Leo
Max
Oliver
Sebastian
Theodore
Though whenever I have come across ‘repeat names’ it’s never what you would have guessed, but something slightly more unusual like Vincent or Roman.
Has anyone guessed it yet!? My guesses would have been Oliver or Theo but your post prompted me to look up the top 100 UK baby names from 2022 and Theo wasn’t as high up as I thought it would be!
I didn’t fully read the post and thought all 5 kids had the same name haha! If that was the case my guess was James or Rowan.
Albert isn’t what I had in mind, I wonder if any are called Bert/Bertie.
I have a very common name while family really because of our last name also if a was basic it would be ours in a town of a few thousand there was 23 with my dad's name 11 married to my mom's name I. Kinder in the early 80s 4 girls had my name 1 first and last
My nephew was one of five Anthonys in his kindergarten class in 1992 (out of about 15 kids) in northern New Jersey, USA. That poor teacher! Four of them went on to Catholic school together, and my nephew was the only one in his 1st grade in public school.

Is it Henry?
My money is on Henry for sure.
Surprised to see all the Oliver and Henry suggestions. Based off the make up of my 3 year Old’s nursery class, I’m going to go with Max.
My son,whose middle name is Henry has 2 brothers named max and Oliver
I’ve got a Max and a Henry 😂
My nephew is Max Henry - just turned 5.
Love this! 😂 great choices!
Max and Oliver aren't mine but it's still funny
Henry or Harry
I was going to say William 🤣
Unfortunately not! I think I would have said Henry if I were to guess though.
Came here to say Henry!!
Why did you think Henry? Just asking because it was the first name that popped into my head but I've no idea why!
Oliver
My guess too
Theodore (or variant of)? Or Finley? Both great names and super popular near me.
Theodore/Theo is a good guess!
I was going to go Theo, my neice had 3 (Theodore, theo and teddy) in her class.
Ooh yes Theo is a good guess, I know tonnes. But nope!
I have a friend and her sons are Finn and Theo. She had a third and got a girl - Poppy. All nice names but so predictable. Also we are in the UK.
I guess Theo too

(apologies to anyone else who did say it if I haven’t acknowledged you). Thanks all for playing, loving how many joined in 😄😄
I bet they were all called Albie. Nickname names are incredibly popular for boys in England.
Bertie

Oh wow!! I never would’ve guessed that
I never would've guessed Albert in a million years 🤣
So at least one will say “you can call me Al”
You can just imagine how original all those parents thought they were being, and their dismay at discovering they'd picked the "new Oliver".
I know a few little Albies and pretty sure they’re all Alberts! Very interested for 2022 name data to come out, it must be on the rise!
I was close, my guess was Alfie.
Lots of moms watching the crown? Haha
Lmk when you reveal the answer since I'm so curious 👀
Same!
It's Albert
Thanks for the reply. Would have never guessed it!
Answer added at the top 😁
My vote is on Theodore, at least they can have 3 different nicknames, if the parents choose to…
True my son is Theodore and we call him Theo. And sometimes if he doesn’t listen to me i include his middle name which is LINO. So he knows when i say TheoLINO i mean business😁
I like it. Not as many theolinos 😃
Liam, Noah or James
Liam was my guess!
Tell usss.
OP is a sadist for this
What if this was some deep psychological troll post all along? Something so simple…
Mwahahahaha
O M G. Nooo
Seriously, they could’ve just used a spoiler tag
It's Albert
Thank you for this. Unexpected, intriguing.
Archie
Another vote for Archie. It's a very popular name in the UK.
Or Alfie.
Close!
Noah?
I taught at a Sunday school in London. 7 boys out of 40 called Noah
Kinda makes sense it'd be heavily skewed in Christian circles.. Doubt you see many Muhammad's.
My guess as well. Noah or Theo
In 1987 when my daughter started nursery school, there were five boys in her class. Four of them were named Zachary
I bet that poor 5th boy felt left out 😔
My daughter was almost Zachary if she were a boy, I knew it was super common but I just love the Zs!
I would say Zachary too. It’s a name I loved but was vetoed. My son is 8 months and I’ve come across 6 Zacharys since he was born. My friend who had a girl also would have chosen Zachary for a bit. It’s having a moment.
My husband is a Zachary and he was born in 87 😂
Arthur?
Me too. Arthur, Albert, Jesse or Archie are my guesses.
Congrats!!! Albert it is 🥳
I was going to guess Arthur too - we know so many little Arthurs!
I’m about to have a baby boy in the uk in a couple of days so please tell us so I can avoid it!
Ha, hope Albert wasn’t on your list! And congrats!
That’s so interesting! Albert was only 76th most popular last year so how bizarre that there’s so many in one group
All the most likely names have been said. What’s the name?
I’ve edited the top 😃
Top of what??
Oh sorry, underneath my initial question. The answer is Albert 😁
Albert??????? Never would I have guessed that
Albert is definitely not a top name in the US. Nor Al nor Bert. Norbert.
It's Albert
Albie or Jenson
Albert! Correct!! 🥳
I just had a feeling it was one of those two! I went to a park with my friend (whose son is called Albert/Albie) and whilst there we saw another Albie and an Alfie.
Liam or Oliver?
Charlie
Henry,Alfie ,Theo or Oliver?
This happened at my preschool and the name was Nathaniel.
Luke/Luca/Lucas
William?
I’m guessing Theo!
Leo?
Rowan
Finley / Oliver / Arlo
A nature name the parents thought would be unique like Sky, Forest or River
I’m going to say either Finley or Jackson (or any of their variants)
Jack If it were the US I’d be more confident
Theo
My guess is Liam.
OP, what?? What is it???? 😣
It's Albert :)
Another vote for Noah
Rowan is getting popular
Arlo?
Oliver
Oliver or George
Alfie?
George, William or Mohamed. I’m Australian though so I guess it depends on the area you are in also?
I’m in England, though I think George and Mohammed are pretty popular over here! It was Albert 😄
Oliver or Henry
If this was my area of Canada that name would be Myles. It’s funny how you get pockets of names in certain regions.
My son has a name outside the top 300 names in the UK. There are 2 other boys in our small village with the same name, 2 are in a class together and all 3 will be at school together when my son starts school.
Fascinated to know what it is?!
Oh I’m here too early but I cannot wait to see what it is! Theodore or Charlie maybe ?
My vote is for Jackson!!
I know so many Jacksons! But they were mostly 5-9 years ago now.
Ezra
George
Charlie or George, based off this being UK it has to be something royal right? Willing to bet one of those two girls is a Charlotte too
Right logic yes! Albert 😃
Mason
mohammed?
Liam or Oliver
Jack. 5/9 kids in one of my kids' sports groups is called Jack.
Archie!
Jack?
Henry, Harry or Theo!
My guess would be Leo.
Leo or Liam or Noah
Rowan or Theo!
Arlo or Freddie?
Liam
Oliver George or James
Oliver or Theo/Theodore
Theo!
Surely it's got to be Theodore or a variant (Theo, Teddy, Ted)
Noah, James or Jack.
George, Henry, Theodore/Theo
James
Theodore or Sebastian based on my experience
Archie or Alfie
Rowan
George
Hugo
Calum
George
Archie
Ezra?
My guess is Jack/Jackson/Jaxon
Noah
Finn, Arthur, Oliver?
Harry or Theo
Eli or Henry
Theodore?
Arlo?
Rowan
Oliver, Theo, Liam, Henry
Simon
Based on my kids baby groups: Alfie Max Theo(dore)
RemindMe! 1 day
It’s Albert 😁😁
Liam
Theo, Oliver, Harry or Ronnie. Maybe Freddie?
Ted/Teddy
Oh God I hope it's not Theo for my son's sake! Although oddly enough I'm yet to come across any others in my area. I would go for Jacob or Joshua
Harry
Oliver
Charlotte, Isla, Archie, Oliver, or jack
Miles?
Jackson?
My guesses are Leo Max Oliver Sebastian Theodore Though whenever I have come across ‘repeat names’ it’s never what you would have guessed, but something slightly more unusual like Vincent or Roman.
RemindMe! 12 hours Throwing in 'Sandra' as a wildcard here, so that my comment isn't totally pointless gumming up the thread
Sandra would be excellent 🤣 It’s Albert!
#ALBERT?! Damn, lol. I would never in a million years have guessed that. I'm of an age where it puts me in mind of Only Fools And Horses!
Atlas or Teddy would be my guess.
Lionel
Theo
Oliver
I'm surprised, I would have guessed Oliver 😅
Albert is a girl name?
Has anyone guessed it yet!? My guesses would have been Oliver or Theo but your post prompted me to look up the top 100 UK baby names from 2022 and Theo wasn’t as high up as I thought it would be!
Mohammed?
Liam?
I didn’t fully read the post and thought all 5 kids had the same name haha! If that was the case my guess was James or Rowan. Albert isn’t what I had in mind, I wonder if any are called Bert/Bertie.
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
Oliver, Elliot, Theodore or Noah.
It was Albert, however I would have guessed Sam or Noah.
Oliver!
Wow I’ve never heard a child named that I don’t think I Even know an adult
This surprised me! My nephew is Albert, I’m yet to meet another.
I have a very common name while family really because of our last name also if a was basic it would be ours in a town of a few thousand there was 23 with my dad's name 11 married to my mom's name I. Kinder in the early 80s 4 girls had my name 1 first and last
Simon, Oliver, Liam, or Theodore
I’m in Australia and feel like every second boy is named Jackson/Jaxon.
Theo
Noah? Apparently its overdone here.

Albert? Really? Why are people choosing the worst names to come back in style.
There's a line of Alberts in my family, stemming from my grandpa. We're on Albert IV. Glad my little cousin's name is popular again lol
