Love the NN Ally... just curious of your favorite formal name, besides Alyson/Alexandra.
Thanks so much!!!!!!! Also which spelling you like best?

Alaina

My fave spelling of the nickname is Allie. HTH! Good luck!
Our daughter is Alexandra & we use both Alex and Allie
Here are a few more choices:
Alanna
Alyssa
Alexandria
Allegra
Alexis/Alexa
Alice
Alicia
My fave spelling of the nickname is Allie. HTH!

I prefer Allison to Alexandra - prefer the Allison spelling and although I do somewhat like the name, I think it's kinda overused and passe - was very popular in the 80s, lots of Allison's born in the 80s.
other possibilities: Alexis, Aleya, Alicia.
You have some great suggestions, I just wanted to add that I *love* Allison (this spelling)..it's the name we chose if Trevor had been a girl, and we will still use it if we have a girl next time around. I love the nn Allie (this is my favorite spelling).
Alicia (as suggested by pp's) is great too :)
