If 6 is par for a hole., and 5 is a birdie, and 4 is eagle, is 3 albatross? or 2 is still albatross, what then would you call a score of 3 ? or 2 for that matter.

Regardless of par, here is your breakdown as it relates to par on a single hole:
4-under: CONDOR (or TRIPLE EAGLE)
3-under: ALBATROSS (or DOUBLE EAGLE)
2-under: EAGLE
1-under: BIRDIE
even: PAR
1-over: BOGEY
2-over: DOUBLE BOGEY
3-over: TRIPLE BOGEY
4-over: QUADRUPLE BOGEY
5-over: QUINTUPLE BOGEY
and so on ...
Currently, because par 6 holes (and longer) are not played in pro competition, there is no name for 5-under par on a single hole.

Yes 3 is considered an albatross. I read on Wikipedia (which I know isn't super-reliable) that a 4 under par on one hole is called a condor or double-albatross. I'd never heard of it, but I guess that's because it never happens.

for the less informed: According to The Guinness Book of World Records, the Satsuki golf course in Sano, Japan, boasts the longest hole in the world -- an exhausting 964-yard, par-7 humdinger. But the Japanese domination is about to end. Joe Gibbs, owner of Chocolay Downs Golf Course in Marquette, Michigan, is building a double-dogleg par 6. The total: 1,007 yards. Quadruple digits, buddy, the Milton Berle of fairways. And who cares what you call it lol

One better than an eagle would probably be a double eagle. But I have never heard of a par 6 hole; 5 is the usual upper limit.

never heard of a par 6.............. That's interesting. But, I'd say it would be albatross still. I don't know what you would call it of a score of 2. Sorry, but it still would be alatross. Where is this par 6 course? Never heard of a par 6. Interesting stil............

Since its probably never been hit, a name more than likely hasnt come up for it yet.
Im sure though for a generic term, it would just be a Triple Eagle.

there are no par six's that i know of, but i would asume it would be a triple eagle, then a double eagle, then an ace.
