A friend of mine on VRChat picked it out for me and it just sort of "stuck". They wanted to call me a nice girly name instead of my vrchat username (which is different from my lemmy account name). So they started calling me "Allie".
So now I go by "Allie" lol. It's very close to Alex as well. But I have been debating on changing it legally to Allison and then using "Allie" as a nickname.
