It was my grandfather‘s name, so I’m definitely going to think of it as grandfatherly. I’m also American just for the context there. I don’t like either of those nicknames. My grandfather went by Al. That’s not really a unique nickname though by any means. It is how my sister got her name, Ali, which could be a nickname, but would sound feminine.

I think Albert is a classic. I like it.

In my area it would be cool and new. I don't think it was very popular even among my grandfather's generation here. I've met one Albert in my life, who was my age, and his name was definitely seen as unusual. But he never got any teasing for it, at least none I witnessed.

I love Albie, Al, Bert, Bertie. Other nicknames, I'm not sure... Maybe.... Abbot??

I like Albert, though not enough to use; I'd be happy to meet a young one. I don't think it needs a nn at all.

Grandfatherly, too old fashioned, don't like Albie or Bertie, both don't seem to age well

It’s very handsome, gentle, and affable, though I prefer Aubert (a new favorite).

The nicknames Alby, Bertie, and Bert are quite charming, though I don’t think Albert needs a nickname.

Alternative nicknames could be Abbie, Abe, Bibi, Tibby…?
