I like it

I love the meaning. Not so keen on the sound and it does have connotations of brash Tory gals from 1980s to me. Also not keen on the shortened versions: Ally or Leggy.

It’s great. Very musical and feminine and strong too.

DramaAlpaca · 15/03/2022 20:10

Not for me. It's very hard sounding.

PukkaP · 15/03/2022 20:15

I’m not keen. It sounds harsh and makes me think of an Austin Allegro

I'm well under 50, and my first thought was car!

I can't decide if it's a maths term Algebra or some sort of musical term.

Love it!

Tezza1 · 15/03/2022 20:49

It's absolutely one of my favourite girls' names.

WeasilyPleased · 15/03/2022 22:10

I'm not keen. It sounds too aggressive to me. It gives me visions of a tough cookie in a business suit smoking a cigar.
God knows where I got that from.

Giggorata · 16/03/2022 04:49

Love it.

KayEmAy · 17/03/2022 22:09

Love it!

SW1amp · 17/03/2022 22:10

I really like it other than it gets shortened to ‘Leggy’ which just sounds like something a Jilly Cooper character would call his girlfriend

Sid66 · 17/03/2022 22:23

Sounds like a type of wool for knitting jumpers

Violetandpurple · 17/03/2022 22:40

To me it sounds like the name of a company or perhaps a medicine.
Wasn't even aware it was a name tbh.

FlamingoDust · 18/03/2022 10:56

Really like it

A lovely name.
