[quote=Anonymous]The one adult Alessandra I know doesn't use a nickname -- she just goes by Alessandra. It's a very pretty name and suits her, and while it's long, it flows easily off the tongue so it's not really a big deal for people to say the whole thing. For this reason, I'd go with Allie. It's the most obvious and easy way to shorten the name. If you go with a more creative nickname like Essie or Andie, if it catches on, that will become her name and it will be harder to go back to Alessandra if she wants to when she is older. But if you go with Allie, she'll be able to float between her full name and nn more easily. She could be Allie to friends and family and then Alessandra professionally, and people won't get confused. Or if she decides when she goes to college to go by her full name, her college friends won't be that thrown to hear her old friends or family call her Allie because it's an obvious abreviation and not a totally different name. Just my two cents.[/quote]
