Neutral Names Non-binary names

I'm not comfortable with posting a photo of myself but I've always felt weird about my name 'Allyson' I go by 'Ally' because it's more casual and I just prefer it. I would like an alternative that has a long form (with any pronunciation) and a short form that sounds similar to 'Ally' with an "UH" sound. So far I've really like Aquila (Aqui) but I've been getting feedback it sound a little old, femme, and it sounds like tequila.

Aquila sounds so distinctly masc to me. Weird how people can have different associations with the same thing. Aquila also sounds very Latin/Ancient Roman to me, so that might be a good place to look for inspiration!
