Help[Opinions] Re: Alistair/Alasdair
in reply to a message by Bex
Pronunciation is identical.
Ali is fine for a small boy; I imagine it will naturally shorten/mature to Al, if he needs a nn at all.
My son's 2nd mn is Alastair. I would have preferred the Alistair spelling, because I like the subtle repetition of a-i-a-i; however, the two friends we used the name because of both have the Alastair spelling (and a former boyfriend of mine was an Alistair!) so that's what we went with.
Of all your potential names, only Theodora seems to stand out as different. Nice name, but in the wrong sibset.
