Other than Ally/Ali is there any nickname for Alice?

Short names are often lengthened (I worked with a Lucy/Lucifer).

Neither my husband or I have a name that can be shortened nd our daughters name can't be shortened but kind of sounds like a shortened name already. I like Alice because it's different to my daughters but don't know if it feels more formal?!

Don't even know if that makes sense and I've typed 'shortened' a lot!

Lissy.

(Not Licey - that's awful!!!)

I´ve always loved my name.

HRH008 · 26/11/2012 14:54

I´ve never had a nickname that actually came from my first name ... Al is the only one I´ve ever heard of, but it didnt stick with me, mostly because it was a common nickname for Alistair, and I grew up with a lot of Als. Infact, my mum chose the name Alice because you couldnt really shorten it.

I regularly get called Alison though, which is irritating.

Do you WANT a name that can be shortened?

I don't mind Lissy actually!

What does everyone think of Alice in general?

Well La I did say, anything but Alli. Lycia isn't really from Alice, surely that's a lazy way of saying Alicia?!

The Alices that I know don't get shortened

I´m an Alice, my nickname is Fred.
I´m not joking.

MamaMary · 26/11/2012 14:47

Al.

The Alice I know gets called Malice quite a lot. It suits her.

Frontpaw · 26/11/2012 14:47

Al. I have known two Als.
