Albert "Al" Gore Jr. Is an American politician, businessman, and environmentalist who served as the 45th vice president of the United States from 1993 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton. Gore was the Democratic nominee for president of the United States in the 2000 presidential election. He lost the electoral college vote 266–271 to Republican nominee George W. Bush, despite winning the popular vote by approximately 543,895 votes. The election concluded after the Supreme Court of the United States ruled 5–4 in Bush v. Gore against a previous ruling by the Supreme Court of Florida on a re-count that would have likely given Gore a razor-thin lead in the state of Florida, had the re-count continued as planned. Gore is one of only five presidential candidates in American history to lose a presidential election despite winning the popular vote.

I have a younger brother named Albert. I am currently eighteen years old while he is sixteen and over the years I was the one who always got into some mischievous hi jinx. But Albert? No, he was and is always the responsible one. So, yes, while I do agree that his name might sound a little old fashioned, it should not be seen as a negative point to deter parents from choosing this name for their kid. Anyway that is my impression and association with this name.

This is my family name and we are ever proud to have it. We're southern west indians (Caribbean national) and clearly we received this name from the slave owner who owned my foreparents. Based on data, my greatgrandmother - Elizabeth Albert - 4 times before were from the last lot of slaves brought in. Fortunately, never cruelly treated by their owner and received many acres of lands as compensation. Our legacy was so rich, we had a street named after us. However, in the last several years, our wealth and social status have declined due to poor management of our estate and many family members marrying into families such as the Letts, Vincents, Panchoos, and Mitchells. There is only a handful of us who still use this name.

Albert sounds good. Although it is considered an old-fashioned name, I also see it as a little boy's name, since the Spanish version, which is very similar (Alberto), is currently a very popular name in my country (I am Spanish, by the way). It is a classic, appropriate and elegant name.

He is perhaps best known for his memorable design of the Martian war machines from the 1953 film The War of the Worlds and for his Academy Award-nominated art direction on the 1956 Cecil B. DeMille epic, The Ten Commandments. He retired in 1969 due to retinitis pigmentosa, which ultimately cost him his sight. Starting out at Paramount as a draftsman in the Paramount set-design department in 1934, he retired in 1969 as the studio's supervising art director for feature films.

I quite like this, particularly with the German and French pronunciations. It's very handsome and distinguished, and has a long history. I'd definitely use it.
The only downside is that I really dislike the nicknames Al and Bert, and I wouldn't want people to call my child that. Albie and Bertie are cute nicknames though.

Indeed. I am planning on using it there as well as I am Hungarian. Not in the Top 100, at least since 2000-2009, but I think pronounced the French way it is absolutely stunning. So cute! Almost Albear, but Al-BER, so cute! Sorry. :) In Denmark, Albert is in the top 50 and climbing! I am deciding between Albert and Oliver. The only reason I would go with Oliver (popular in Hungary) is because the name is popular there and across Europe. Albert is not to that degree. But I like Albert, my little bear, and I will use Albert. :)

I would think that parents who name their son Albert are very elitist, snobby, conservative, old-fashioned, and tend to be offended by anything slightly controversial. The name sounds quite dated and geeky, even though the nickname Al has none of that snobby elitist vibe to it. However, it sounds like the nickname of a middle-aged guy by now.

That name is also used in Germany and it is pronounced ALL-Bert but the A is not pronounced like the English all (ohll). It sounds like the A in staff, like every A in German.
2

You have to be careful to take accents into account when indicating pronunciation. The "a" in "staff" would have the wrong pronunciation in American English. The "a" in "father" would be better, as this has the sound of German "a" in any accent of English (so far as I know).
