[name]Hi[/name] everyone! I am trying to decide between the nicknames [name]Allie[/name] or [name]Ellie[/name] for my little girl. Which do you like better? Can these names stand alone, or should I give her a fuller name?
Here are some fuller name suggestions, that I like:
[name]Allie[/name]/[name]Ally[/name]/[name]Ali[/name]:
[name]Alison[/name] (my least favorite)
[name]Alana[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Alaine[/name]/[name]Alaina[/name] (worried about [name]Lainey[/name] as her nickname instead of [name]Allie[/name])
[name]Ayla[/name]
[name]Alexis[/name]
[name]Aaliyah[/name]/[name]Aleah[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] (too much of a stretch?)
[name]Ellie[/name]:
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Elisa[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] (there is a town close to where I live with this name)
[name]Elaine[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name]
[name]Elliana[/name]
[name]Ellis/name
[name]Ellery[/name]
Personally I prefer [name]Allie[/name] over [name]Ellie[/name] (for some reason I always hear ‘belly’ when people say [name]Ellie[/name] :? ) And I think [name]Allie[/name]/[name]Ali[/name] could stand as a full name if you really love it, but personally I think I would use it as a nickname
My favorites from your list…
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Ayla[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] (It is a bit of a stretch, but imo nn are more personal, if you call her [name]Ali[/name] then her nn is [name]Ali[/name] :))
And maybe instead of [name]Alaina[/name] have you considered [name]Alenna[/name]?
I absolutely think [name]Allie[/name] and [name]Ellie[/name] need fuller names. I’m pretty neutral on which I like better. I think [name]Ellie[/name] might win by a smidge, but it really depends on the full name for me. My thoughts:
[name]Allie[/name]/[name]Ally[/name]/[name]Ali[/name]:
[name]Alison[/name] (my least favorite)- I actually kind of like [name]Alison[/name]. It’s not terribly exciting, but I think it’s strong and classy and an easy name to wear. I like that you’re spelling it with one l.
[name]Alana[/name]- I like this quite a bit.
[name]Alice[/name]- [name]Love[/name]! Possibly my favorite on the [name]Allie[/name] list.
[name]Alaine[/name]/[name]Alaina[/name] (worried about [name]Lainey[/name] as her nickname instead of [name]Allie[/name])- I much prefer [name]Elena[/name] to [name]Alaina[/name]. It’s far more classic and less trendy to me.
[name]Ayla[/name]- Seems incomplete to me.
[name]Alexis[/name]- A bit boring for me. I think I’ve met enough [name]Alex[/name]-ander/andra/a/ia/andria/is etc. for a lifetime.
[name]Aaliyah[/name]/[name]Aleah[/name]- Not a fan.
[name]Adeline[/name] (too much of a stretch?)- It is a bit of a stretch for [name]Allie[/name]. [name]Addie[/name] makes more sense. I do love it, though.
[name]Ellie[/name]:
[name]Eloise[/name]- [name]Love[/name] it!
[name]Elisa[/name]- I love this too.
[name]Eleanor[/name] (there is a town close to where I live with this name)- Yet another great name!
[name]Elaine[/name]- I think you have better options. You may want to consider [name]Elena[/name].
[name]Elliot[/name]- This is 100% male to me.
[name]Elliana[/name]- I prefer [name]Eliana[/name]. It’s beautiful.
[name]Ellis/name- Masculine to me.
[name]Ellery[/name]- Eh. It’s okay, but I like your first three names and [name]Eliana[/name] best.
My favorites for [name]Allie[/name]: [name]Alice[/name], [name]Alana[/name] and [name]Alison[/name]. I also like [name]Adeline[/name], but not with [name]Allie[/name] as a nickname.
My favorites for [name]Ellie[/name]: [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Elisa[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Eliana[/name], and [name]Elena[/name], if you’d consider that.
