Re: Ally as a nickname for Adelheid?
in reply to a message by Lucille
Since Alice is from Adelheid / Adelheidis, then I guess I can see Ally as a nn. To me, nns are the place for creativity, whimsy, affection. As long as the child is given a decent formal name to fall back on, one they can be proud of, pretty much any nn is fine by me. (P.S. I love the name Adelheid.)
