are there any other than Al, Alex, Xander, Sandy, Lex..?

Are there many Alis/Allys out there for example?

I love the name, but he'd almost inevitably be Alex, which I don't dislike, but its one of those nicknames that doesn't do justice to the full name!

Sasha is lovely and a diminutive for Alexandra.

My DH is Alexander but get called Al or fat Al by all his friends and Alex by me and at work and our joint/couple friends. The only person who calls him Alexander is his DM and then it does sound a bit of a mouthful as I am not used to him being called by his full name.
