Alessa.
It was Alina for awhile, but now it's Alessa.
In all technicalities it's a nickname, but it's what I generally prefer to be called, even by my friends. Quite a few of my friends have actually confessed to forgetting my real name, it's been so long since they've heard it, haha. I've just always hated my real name..
Alina sounded prettier at first, but Alessa was just what ultimately stuck! Been using it for a few years now; online, irl, and as my character's name in most games. It's all but replaced my real one.
Sometimes I go by old nicknames, or desserts and fruity names. Literal fruity names, like Berry Swirl. =p
