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.

Allie/Ally - I'm not really fond of the name.

Catherine/Katherine - they're equal to me, becacause I'm used to both spellings.

Kristin - but they're two different names to me.

Leslie - it's the one I'm used to seing.

Stephanie - I've always felt like Stefanie misses an f.
