#it's secular haze btw

not a thought in that pretty head.

Was Tommy’s naming the baby Alfred a nod to Alfie, or was it just something that slipped out in his delirious, painful, post-delivery haze? I do appreciate the unique take on his name and that you didn’t go with the obvious choice of Charlie. I’m looking forward to seeing what reaction Alfie has to Tommy’s name choice and if he’s at all pissed that he didn’t get a say. BTW - out of curiosity, what do you think they would’ve named the baby if it were a girl?

Yes, Tommy named the baby after his father. Alfie is short for Alfred. Naming a first-born child after his father was pretty standard practice. (There were even more prescriptive British naming customs pre the 19th century, which involved naming the 1st son after his father's father, 2nd son after the mother's father, 3rd after the father ... and then on to uncles etc until you ran out of sons!)

Alfie was certainly named after his own father (Alfred Solomons Senior - as stated by Steven Knight in the Gospel of Alfie Solomons). I like to think he has a more traditionally-Jewish second name (I believe Jewish tradition sometimes bestows two names on a child, one secular name for every day use, and one religious name for use at synagogue). 

Anyway, I think in this story, Tommy names the baby after Alfie because he has no real intention of abandoning his mate — you don't name your son after someone if you don't have pretty strong feelings for them — he is just in a bad place.

As for a girl’s name? I don’t know. They might have named her after one of their mothers? Probably Alfie’s, because Tommy’s feelings about his own mother are too dark and messy and, given how superstitious he is, he may fear bad-luck. (I like to think Alfie’s mum was called Evelyn. I have no good reason for thinking that).

And I could never have called this child Charlie, he isn't Grace's son!
