RE: You can call me "Al"...
In Jason Emerson's Robert Lincoln bio the author writes:

"The Lincolns' son Abraham Lincoln II was born on August 14, 1873. He was promptly nicknamed "Jack" by his father, apparently because Robert felt "Abraham" too long and formal a name for a young boy, and he disliked the moniker "Abe," just as his father had."
