Alice Nickname
I like the name Alice but don't want any nicknames to come from it and worry she might get the nickname Ally or Lissa or something. Do you know anyone named Alice and does she go by a nickname or do people try to call her a nickname?

I love the name Alice. A friend of mine has a little girl named Alice and her nn is Camel, like the Alice the camel song! Not something I would want to nn my child personally!

I've only known one Alice, and she was a nun, so, just Sister Alice.Not nick-named, I don't think, as I heard her actual sibling(as opposed to her sisters in religion) call her Alice.

I've never met an Alice that has a nickname. I almost feel like nicknames are inevitable, but likely they'll go by what you call them in everyday life.

I know an Alice that simply goes by Alice. I can't imagine calling her anything else.

I was at school with an Alice who was never anything else. Same with all the Alison and Allison people, though they tended to be called Allie when we were under about 12.I love Alice too and would gladly use it.

I adore AliceI simply adore Alice, espicially paired with other classics names, but not the nicknames you mentioned.

I know two people named Alice and they are just called Alice.
Allison would get shortened to Ally etc., but Alice is short enough that I don't think anyone would try to shorten it if the person didn't say that they wanted to go by a certain nickname.

The Alices I've known have just been "Alice."

I know a few Alice's and none of them have nicknames. Hope this reassures you a little.However I would like to point out that nicknames are usually inevitable. No matter what the name there is bound to be someone out there who will try to shorten or lengthen it!

All the Alices I've met are just Alice. You could call her Al, but that might too tomboyish for some.I know an Alison who's sometimes called Alis by her family. (think Alice with a Mexican accent)

The only Alice I know personally is the administrator of the facility where I work, and everyone just calls her Alice, as far as I know. She's an older woman, I think in her late 50's/early 60's.

I LOVE the Name Alice and always adored the nickname 'Liss' (Ah-liss)
I think 'Liss' fits perfectly (:
And if you don't want people to call her by a nickname, haveAlice be the middle name or simply don't use it. You can't control what other people call your kid;classmates and such.To make you feel better, most Alice's I encountered, just went by Alice. No nickname.

I know several Alices, and a few of them do go by nicknames, although mostly Portuguese nicknames like Alicinha, Cinha, etc.

I've known a lot of girls named Alice, and none I can think of had or has a nickname. I think you're in the clear!

Most of the Alice's I know (5) go only by Alice. I only know one that goes by a nickname, which is "Addy", and even then it's really only a family thing extending from childhood, rather than a name she goes by full time. I think Alice is short enough that you don't have to worry too much about nicknames being forced up on it. I could see someone being worried about Alexandra being shortened to "Ally" but Alice is already so light that I don't think nicknames are that naturally occurring.
