[Opinions] Alastríona
I really like the Irish name Alastríona (pronounced Al-iss-tree-na) and would just like to know your opinion :)Also, I now you could nickname it Tríona as that is a name in its own right, but what about Alas (pronounced like Alice)? I know its not REALLY Alice but the start of Alastríona is pronounce the same. What do you think?

Alastriona is energetic sounding, attractive, and underused. I'm a fan.As for Alas, it would work, but it I automatically think of the word "alas." I'd spell it Alis even though it's further away from the beginning of Alastriona. I'd say that it still works though. You could probably just use Alice as a nickname too.

I love it! It feels so smooth to say outloud. I think Alas pronounced like Alice could work, and that would be by far my favorite choice.

I must admit, I rather like Alastriona. My biggest problem with it was no easy nickname, but I think Alas/Alice could possibly work. I wouldn't spell it Alas, though, since it looks like the word 'alas!'

I love it! I like Triona and Alas for nn's. I've suggested Alastriona "Alice" before for something, but spelling it Alas is probably better since that's in the actual name.
