Albert

Excellent! I love the meaning of the name and its old-fashioned, distinguished sound. Much better and more mature than Alex.

Nice, classic name.

I chose this name for myself after moving out, it’s one of my favourite names. I think it should really be used more, I think it’s quite a nice name. And I love how many nicknames for it there are!

Although my nickname is Joey, my real name is Albert. Basic, but AMAZING. My dad's name was the same. Albert Einstein was very smart, and I'm also very smart. Maybe me and Albert Einstein are related.

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.

I don't really like it. Its pronunciation is weird to me.

I don’t like it, old and hideous.

My father's name is Albert and said his parents named him this because of Albert Einstein. It may sound dated, but is a cool name in my opinion. I love the nickname Bert too.

Sounds like a creepy weirdo. So ugly and dated.

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.

It's pretty handsome but, I don't like the nickname Bert... I guess you could go with Al.

On first impressions Albert is a so and so type of name that has its positives I suppose. Although, like most of the comments on here, I would have to say that it is not to my taste.

I am sorry, but it is horrid.

Ugly.

Ugly name. Bert or Albie just makes it worse.

Meh! Not really my taste. It just looks stodgy, old, and tired. :(

Albert is a timeless name that is never too old fashioned. Allison on the other hand has a kitschy sound to it that makes it appear quite tacky.

I love the name Albert, it’s really traditional sounding and has lots of delightful nicknames like Albie and Bertie and just Al when they are older. A top name :-)

I don't know why, but I really like that this name rhymes with Robert. It's also Einstein's name. I love it!

I just think of Fat Albert.

Love this name! A timeless classic, and also love the nicknames, especially Bertie, or in Hungarian Berti or Berci. Super cute for a little boy!

This name is okay. It does sound quite old fashioned though, kinda like how Arthur and Mitchell do. I would never use it personally, but it's an alright enough name.

Albert is a fine boys name that I'm glad to see is popular. It has a classic ring to it and I like "Bert" and "Bertie" as shortened forms.

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.

It means "noble and bright" and Albert Einstein is famous bearer. Wonderful!

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 only think of Albert Einstein when I hear this name. The meaning is great and the sound of it is classy, mature, strong. HaHa, Albert Einstein is mainly the reason why I like this name.

Awful. Makes me think of a loud grouchy old man in a wheelchair who pokes people with a cane when he wants something. The only Albert I know doesn't go by Albert, but by his middle name. He doesn't even write it out in his official signature.

Even if some people think this is an old-fashioned name, I quite like it, and the nickname Bertie. By the way, I think this name is used in German as well.

I find this name very sweet, soft and tender. Perfect name for a gentle and thoughtful boy.

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.

I actually like this name. It just has a nice sound to it, and I like Al as a nickname.

I absolutely love this name! Though, I do prefer the French pronunciation to the English or German.

I think this is a classic name. It has been popular for over 100 years.

I simply find it royal. Albert's a royalty name. ;)

I think it's quite a British name; quite old-fashioned as well. Prince Albert was the prince consort to Queen Victoria. She was devastated when he died young and wore black for the rest of her life in mourning for him.

I think Albert is a much prettier name when pronounced the French way (al-bear).

Albert sounds like an old grandad to me - not a very nice name for a child.
