I was in a playground the other day and heard a lady calling "Albert, Albert come here". I thought it had to be a dog as it was such an old fashioned name but she went and held the hand of a little boy and said "Bertie it's time to go". She then went and collected his sister, Maisie. Obviously people who loved old fashioned names.
