Ali 1

Beautiful!

Very pretty and elegant nickname!

The sweetest nickname for a girl (Alice, Aliana, Alexandra, etc)! Absolutely adore!

Since I admire Muhammad Ali, who in turn was named after both Prophet Muhammad SAW and Saidina Ali RA, I would like to name my firstborn son "Ali".

I think Ali is a beautiful, timeless name.

Pretty, delicate.

It's really cute, I gotta admit, but I would choose Allie for a diminutive for Alexandra or Allison.

I think it is good as a nickname for both genders. But I think it should be pronounced "AHL-ee" for boys and "A-lee" for girls.

If you'd like to use this as a nickname for Alice, Alexandra, etc. Go choose Allie and Ally instead, please. This is masculine and definitely nothing feminine.

I love this name. It's a masculine name with a feminine flair, in the best way. It's simple yet beautiful. Strong and soft at the same time. It ages well. I'd imagine it on a man with the qualities of a leader.

I know someone who I absolutely hate with this name so I don't like the name. Also, it's kind of short and boring, not rare, but not popular either. There are like 5 kids I know named Ali, it is just not a good name. I don't know where all this "elegance and beauty" came from. Jeez, it's 3 letters!

Sania just cause you hate someone with this name doesn't mean it's not a beautiful name... your personal experience does not “rule” the outlook in the name... it’s very beautiful and refined whether you like it or not. Keep you personal experience out of judging a name then I’ll believe you're fair but to me this name is absolutely refined and musical... guess you need the full alphabet to give a name “value”.

This is not a good name if you live in the U.S. because everyone will pronounce it as Alley and Alley is already a trashy name which is why I would never use this name.

Ali is a beautiful, handsome Arabic male name. A fab classic that ages so well! :)

I do like it. It sounds so girly, sweet and cute... But I can't get it on men. Nothing masculine at all...

I don't know how it Ali can sound "girly" at all. It is pronounced as Ah-lee. You're thinking about Al-lee. (alley. Allie. Ally) perhaps.

Ali is the name of my sister and it's not short for anything. Just Ali. I relate it to a pretty girl and a happy girl and very warm. It's a really feminine name. Pronounced Al-ee. Not All-i.

This is one of the few names I hate when people make feminine. Allie is the correct spelling for the girl's name. Ali is not short for Alison or whatever. It's a name extremely popular and extremely religious tied to subcontinental Asia and Arabia. Most people who use this name for girls don't give a damn about Muslims, so what gives you the right to use this name?

My sister is named Ali. It's not short for Alice or Alison it's just Ali. Al-EE. I know a girl named Alexandria that goes by Ali, and an Alison. I don't know any guys named that.

I pronounce it just like Allie, but I'm a girl, and my name's Allison. I used to spell my nickname Allie, but there was a girl I knew who I didn't like who spelled her name and nickname the same way, so I took to spelling it Ali.

Ali means something high, and something really inspiring. People named Ali are usually very loving and have very big hearts. Usually they're very courageous, dignified and independent thinkers who follow their own path.

This sounds too much like "Ah-lee". Like Mohammad Ali, or however you spell his name, I wouldn't use this for my daughter.

I love the name Ali! It's such a bouncy, fun name! Ali can also be short for Alison.
