I disagree that Allie is "so much prettier" than Ellie, the words THE and THEE are more distinguishable than Allie and Ellie.I would also not refer to either Allie or Ellie as pretty. They make youthful nicknames for longer birth certificate names such as Alana and Elliana.Allie makes me think of Ally McBeal, Allie Hamilton and alleyways.
I like it and I think it's cute and everything... but I would just never use it for any of my (future) kids. I also think it's a great nickname for Allison, Alexandria, And Alexandra.
Allie is my name. Not a nickname or anything, just Allie. As much as I love my name, I'm annoyed by how many people think Allie is my nickname and my real name is Alison. It's just Allie! If I ever go to Starbucks, I will make sure they spell my name right.

This is my name, and I love it! Sadly, I was given the least popular name out of all my siblings, (Alyssa, Caleb, and Corey) but that's what I love about it! It's so unique! Something uncommon is it's not a nickname. My full name is Allie. If you're planning on naming your child this, go for it! It's short, simple, cute, ages well, and it's uncommon if you want an uncommon name! I have actually never met another Allie before. I've met Allisons and Alexis' that go by Allie, but never just an Allie!

Allie is a pretty nickname, but not as a full name to me. I feel there needs to be something more to it if it’ll be a first name. I love it as a nickname for Alexandra, better than Alex as a nickname for it. Alison isn’t my type of name, so there I guess.
Ew, I hate this name. Something about it just is like... No, lol. Allie & Allison are just gross in my opinion. Thankful that that isn't my name.

My name is Alle, a very rare spelling of it and apparently very hard way of saying it but I think I'm going to change it to Alleigh, if I already have a difficult name to say why not have fun with it?
My name is Alma, but back when I was about 5 or 6 I hated my name, and everybody called me Allie (though I've since grown to love my name, so nobody calls me Allie anymore). I know two other Allie's: one is short for Alexandra, and the other for Amanda. Overall, while I do think it makes a cute nickname, I don't think Allie is substantial enough to be a full name.
That's one of the names my parents considered for me, as a full name. I wouldn't mind to be named Allie at all. I love it as short for Alexandra and Alexandria. It's common yet unusual for Alex- names.
I know three Allies, yet none of them spell it "Allie." There's Alle (short for Alessandra), Alli (short for Allison) and then Alley (who's just Alley.) I think "Allie" is over used, even as a nickname. Don't call your kids this. Think of something more original.
This is what I go by, even though it's short for Allison, and I think it's ok. AND NO ONE CAN EVER SPELL IT! It's always Ali or Alli or Ally or something along those lines. Generally, if you call me Allison, I attack you. It's Allie, not Allison, or Alyson, or Alison. ALLIE!
My name is Alexandra, but everyone calls me Allie. I love the name, only it's becoming way too popular for my liking. Every person I have ever met assumes that Allie is short for Alison and that it's spelled Ali. It gets quite annoying sometimes. But overall, it's a very lovely name.

My name is Allie. It's not short for anything though, it is just Allie. I think it's a pretty good name. It can get annoying because of the many different spellings and people who think your name is Alison when it's not. Also, I've never been able to find a trinket (like a mug you buy at a gift shop) with my name on it, it's always Alison or something. Oh well. :)
