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!

What about Sasha, Sanya, or Shura? That's what little Alexanders are called in Russia

My 13 yo Alexander mainly gets called Alex but also Al, Ally, Lex, Lexi. DPs dad is an Alexander and he gets called Sandy all the time.

I know an Alexander who only goes by Addy! Well into his teens now and nobody bats an eyelid.
