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? Allie, as Ally is closer to the word "alley," imo.
Catherine or Katherine? Catherine. I'm not fond of "k"s.
Elliot or Elliott? (m) Elliot. Elliott is more the surname spelling to me.
Haley or Hayley? Hayley, although not fond of the name, I think Haley looks incomplete.
Jodi, Jodie, or Jody? Jodie. Dunno. Don't really like any of them.
Kristen or Kristin? Kristen. Looks more aesthetically pleasing.
Lesley or Leslie? (f) Lesley for a girl. Leslie for a boy.
Stefanie or Stephanie? Stephanie. Looks better.
