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 or Ally? (as a nickname for any of the 5 girl names on my list that begin with Al) - I don't love the name with any spelling, but I like Ali best and Alli least.

Catherine or Katherine? - Love both, probably Catherine though.

Elliot or Elliott? (m) - Elliott

Haley or Hayley? - Definitely Hayley

Jodi, Jodie, or Jody? - I dislike this name, but Jodi is the best of them.

Kristen or Kristin? - I used to think Kristen was the only good way to spell it, but now I definitely prefer Kristin.

Lesley or Leslie? (f) - Definitely Leslie, but I don't like the name.

Stefanie or Stephanie? - Stefanie.
