The story of Allie
Allie is a pet form of names that begin with Al-, such as Alice, Alison and Alexandra. The -ie ending is the same friendly one found in Ellie, Millie and Katie. It has long been used as a nickname, and it can be a boy’s nickname too, for Alfie or Alexander, but as a given name in Ireland it is almost always for girls.
Allie first appears in the CSO records in 1997, with 3 girls. It became a little more common through the 2000s and peaked in 2020, when 28 girls got the name and it reached number 167. In 2025 it was number 273, with 15 babies.
It has been much rarer in Northern Ireland, where it has only been recorded in small numbers since 2013.
