Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic is easily the best known of all novelty singers. He writes parodies of popular songs and composes silly original tunes, most of which are accompanied by, among other instruments, his accordion. Weird Al got his start on the Dr. Demento Show, a radio program devoted to odd songs, and since 1983, he has released twelve albums. He also had his own television show (creatively titled "The Weird Al Show") on CBS from 1997 to 1998, and starred in the cult classic film UHF in 1989.

Alfred Bester is an antagonist in twelve episodes of Babylon 5. Although, part of the time, he is on the "good" side, he is disliked/hated by the main characters of the show. He's a Psi Cop, a telepath who is dedicated to hunting down telepaths who have "gone rogue".
The character of Alfred Bester was named after the science fiction writer.

I usually think of "Alfred" the butler from the movie/tv show BATMAN. Alfred was the butler to "Bruce Wayne", aka "Batman". Batman was very rich and had a butler named Alfred, so that's one reason for me to like this name. Fred can be a good alternative to Al/Alfred.
