Usual Nickname, Unexpected Name--Al/Allie

Al is a strange nickname--for a guy, it's terribly outdated. Need a name for an awkward, and/or low-class middle-aged male character? Al's the way to go.
On the other hand, I know Allisons and Alexandras who go by Al, and for them it's youthful & cool.
With the exception of Alexander, the usual full names for Al are pretty past their prime--although Alfie is making a surprising comeback, and Ali is pretty chic for a boy, too.
