Beautiful and timeless. No nickname potential apart from
Allie, but doesn't need a nickname - why use
Allie when you could use
Alice? I like the medieval feel of the -ce ending and the
Alice in Wonderland association. I've never liked
Alison but I love
Alix, which is a good option if
Alice seems too common or boring.
Alicia and
Alisha are also nice, especially
Alicia pronounced uh-LISS-ee-uh. I would use
Alice or
Alix.

LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS
-
Shel Silverstein
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
