Names with nickname of Ally?

fauxbunny

This nickname is sticking in my head as my unborn child's name... even though I STILL don't know if it's a boy or girl!

Like with my son though (I only call him Sammy, his full name is Samuel just to make life easier for him later, eh) I think if it IS a girl, she'd probably appreciate a *real* name for later in life. Help with suggestions? Here's my list so far...

Alice (love this, husband does not lol), Aleta, Alison (do not like this), Alexandra,  Alexandria, Alexis (husband has a cousin with this name, but who cares? I like it), Alexia... so far that's it.

Most of them I am OK with, only one I ADORE, but see my notes.

I was ready to rattle off a list for you, but you have most of them already.

Alecia?

Alberta?  j/k

Alyssa

Alicia

Alia

yeah.. that's all I got. Honestly I think Ally would by a cute name to have by itself.

I was all prepared with a list, but I can't really add anything!   My name is Alicia and my nm is Ally (or Ali)........GL!

I love Alice. It's my mom's middle name and she HATES it. I have no idea why! Ally is a cute nn, but I grew up with many, many friends named Alli/Ali/Ally so it seems overused to me, although it may not be anymore. Have you thought about Alicia? That's pretty too. I also love the Alyssa suggestion.?

You mentioned most of the ones I would think of....but there is also Alana. I like that one

I ran across the name Alaine in a baby book. Ally would work as a nn for that.

I was going to say Alicia or Alyssa - but those have been covered.  I can't think of any others.

Alison wasn't mentioned.

Natalie is kind of an off beat one or Nataly

What about Aleonore, the more French version of Eleanor? I think that's a beautiful, timeless name.

i like alice. baby name wizard lists althea, allegra, alessandra, albina, albany as some other names. personally, i think if you go with anything that "alex" is traditionally a nn for, she might end up going by that.

i also like ali for a boy.

Alistair! I think that can go for either boy or girl.

I love the Althea rec, that may be a hard sell to DH if he doesn't like Alice. 

Alisa is also a great ida, or Alicia/Alysia 

Alonzo for a boy 

Alan or Allen

Alston

I'm an Alicia too, who has always gone by Ali.

I have never known another Ali, whose name was Alicia. ?

I love the name Alessandra.

My real name is Alyssa and I have occasionally been referred to Ally,  although mostly Lissy as a nn.
