In The Catcher In The Rye, what is Allie's given name?

Question: I'm pretty sure Allie is a nickname for something but I can't remember what. Does anyone know?

Answer: Salinger never mentions a proper name for Holden's younger brother other than Allie. I always assumed it was short for Allen, but I don't believe he was ever called anything but Allie in "Catcher in the Rye".
