HelpRe: Ally
in reply to a message by Lily
I'm not one for different spelling of name that sounds exactly the same (Allison v Alison). I also don't believe in giving a nickname to a person when an actual name could be shortened whenever and then revert (It's easy to go from Elizabeth to Liz to Beth and back to Elizabeth. It's hard to go from Ally to Allison).
I personally like the name Allison, and compare it to names like Briana. Sporty yet feminine, a tiny bit dated but too much, and easy to shorten and give nicknames for.

Oh, I guess I never knew that. I always thought Allison was the original. I know way more Allisons then Alisons.
And I guess on the nickname thing... I was give a very short first name (Eva). It's short and cute but I wish my parents would have named me Evangeline so I could have been Eva or Angel or Lina or some other nickname. I just think that longer is better, especially when you're planning on using the nickname form anyway. It's personal though, not always applicable to everyone else.
