Which spellings do you prefer? And, if you can, why?

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Allie or Ally? (as a nickname for any of the 5 girl names on my list that begin with Al)

Catherine or Katherine?

Elliot or Elliott? (m)

Haley or Hayley?

Jodi, Jodie, or Jody?

Kristen or Kristin?

Lesley or Leslie? (f)

Stefanie or Stephanie?

I like all of these, and I'm trying to decide which spellings I like better.
