Comments for ALBERT:

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

Ed Wynn played Uncle Albert, the man who had a "laughing disease," in Disney's "Mary Poppins."

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

Famous bearer is Albert Einstein.

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.

The St. Louis Cardinals' 1st baseman, Albert Pujols, bears this name. He is originally from the Dominican Republic.

Sad to say the first Albert that comes to my mind is Fat Albert! Hey-hey-hey! Also Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's love, but also a kind of tobacco that inspired the age-old telephone prank played on drugstores: "Do you have Prince Albert in a can? Well, you better let him out quick!" Also a Prince Albert is an especially disgusting type of genital piercing for men.

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

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

I was wondering why Prince Albert of England was named Albert even though he was German. And Albert Einstein and a few other Albert's have been German yet this doesn't appear to be an English name.

-- gulie55  2/25/2007

It's not entirely true that this name was introduced to Britain by the Normans. It existed in England prior to 1066 in its Anglo-Saxon form 'Ćthelbeorht' which is modernised/Normanised as Albert. [noted -ed]

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

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

Albert Quinn was a (rather bratty and selfish) character portrayed by Matthew Laborteaux in the later of the popular '70's-'80's television series, "Little House on the Prairie". Albert was not a real person however, the real Ingalls family never adopted a son and instead had 4 daughters and one son who died as an infant.

Albert Horák jr. and sr. are fictional characters from the movie "S tebou mě baví svět". They are played by Július Satinský and Marek Dvořák.

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.

-- FoxtrottBravo  2/20/2008

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).

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.

Paul McCartney has a song called "Uncle Albert".

Singer Kate Bush named her son as Albert, nickname is Bertie.

-- ponette  7/9/2008

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

Talented Israeli born fashion designer Alber Elbaz, originally Albert. He is known for his wearable, feminine designs for the oldest extant fashion house Lanvin.

-- ponette  7/9/2008

You have an error I found.

You said that the name "Albert" was born by 2 TWENTIETH century kings from Belgium < How can this be when Albert Einstein was born with the name in 1800's?

Albert is not given anymore in France, it's way too old-fashionned and doesn't really sound nice. It sounds like Robert etc, and these are way out of fashion in France.

-- luxsword  10/24/2008

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.

-- Anonymous User  12/10/2008

They even use it, written in the same way, in Hungary.
