Alice diminutives

[threeleftfeet]

My mum would like me to use Alice as it's a family name. I'm not very keen on the actual name, but like the idea of using a family name (possibly as a middle name)

Just wondered if anyone can think of any good versions of Alice?

(Not scared of unusual names! btw)

I used it as DD's middle name

Allie as nickname
Alicia?

In Russian the diminutive is Alia (or Alya).

Alice is a pretty name

My DD gets Ali or Alligator (when she's being a grump)

I never intended to shorten my Alice's name, but we end up calling her Al most of the time anyway.
My other dd is called Adelaide which means the same ( I know it seems daft, just liked both names!)

How about Alison? shortened forms Allie, Lissie, Sunny

The thing is if you call her anything from that list then you are not using the family name are you?

Call her Alice as a first name or middle name. Or something else if you don't like it - your Mum doesn't get to name your child.

I'm called Alice. Mum and Dad sometimes call me Ali and some friends have called me Al but pretty much everyone uses sliced and this is the case for the one other adult Alice I know and all the children called Alice I know. So really, if you don't like it I'd choose something else.

Sliced = dyac for Alice

Hmmm....Alice really is only Alice though.

Its my dds middle name. Its a pretty 'easy' MN as it goes with nearly everything.

What are your names?

Your mum has had her opportunity to name a baby, so don't feel obliged to use a name you don't like.

Wow lots of suggestions here!

The only one I really like though is Alia, and Russian wouldn't really be the best choice (my Grandfather's country having been invaded by the Russians, whom he fled from, many times!)

I don't feel obliged to use an Alice diminutive, just thought it might be nice, if I can find one we like.

Anna / Hannah are also family names, off to start a thread on Anna diminutives now!

What fireandashes said. Slippery slope.

This is my second child. We honoured DP's of the family with DS's names.

I'd like to honour my side of the family with DC2's names, if one we like presents itself.

Thanks for the concern, but no need to worry about "slippery slopes"!

I do want a name which has meaning for us.

That should say "DP's side of the family"

Alice...?

Alice?

Who the fuck is Alice?

MrsKeithRichards - brilliant!

My youngest is Alice has had Ally since tiny suits her, only problem was she was born around the time chubby brown had that bloody song and I'd not heard it.

Allie here too, or Ally-Bally, or Allie B. (Don't know why...) So following from that, becomes Bally. Names become so personalised, middle names less so unless person chooses to be called by middle name later. My children have trouble even remembering their middle names (are only young).

I like Alise

personally i think alice is a lovely name but if its a middle why the big deal both my boys have family middle names but we rarely use them other than official documents passports etc?

DS1 has a fairly unusual name (only 7 on the ONS list), and we've given him a common middle name which we like should he want something more "normal".

We'd like to do the same for DC2.

I was alipali, phal (don't ask) sal and al never sliced though.

Mine gets Ally bally bee it comes from the song coulters candy didn't realise it originated from where we live.
