name for NN Allie

cammie6549 · November 2009

Ive seen this asked here before, but cant remember any answers. I love the name Allie, but am not a fan of naming her something that sounds more like a nn. Other than Alison, Alexandra, and Alysa (-sp?) can anyone thing of a name that would have that nn? I think I may be at a loss when I eliminate those 3....Thanks

can you just name her Allie? If not, I like Allison or Alice. A friend of mine named her daughter Allesandra but I'm not sure how she spelled it.

Allegra or Alice

If you like the nn as a name and that's all you plan on using, I say go for it! I think Allie makes a cute, not to mention unique, first name.

IMO, Allison is by far the best name for nn Alli.

Alice. Classy and underused.

Alessandra, Alejandra, Calista (Callie or Allie)

fwiw, I think its okay to give a nn as a first name.

My name is Abby. Just Abby, not Abigail. I'm 27 years old, and it being too "cutesy" or "little girly" is not a problem. It has grown with me just fine. And yes, occasionally people ask if its short for Abigail, and I tell them that its not. Its not a big deal or annoying to be asked that, as some others would have you think.

But, if you don't think so... babynamesworld.com lets you search by "begins with" or "contained in", so you could do that with the letters 'al' or 'all'.

GL!

I am in the same boat you are (we are not pg yet)...we LOVE Allie if we ever have another girl, but are a little unsure about using it as a first name. I think we'll go with Allison, but surely call her Allie. I guess we'll decide for sure if it happens. GL!
