Alli

1. a female given name
   • 2015, Raija Oranen, Hirmuinen mies, Teos, →ISBN, page 190:

     Neiti Valve oli ollut Paasikivelle Alli jo jonkin aikaa, mutta tietysti vain kun he olivat kahden kesken. Alina Amanda. Mutta Alli oli Paasikiven mielestä mukava kutsumanimi, juuri sellainen kuin nainen itsekin, pehmeä, mutkaton, kepeä, mutta samalla määrätietoinen.

     Miss Valve had been Alli to Paasikivi for some time now, but only between the two of them. Alina Amanda, but Paasikivi thought Alli was a nice nickname, just like the woman: soft, easy-going, light, yet determined.
