A VERY handsome and dignified Scottish name, we would love this for a son as I'm half Scottish and my husband has some Scott's blood from his mum's side as well. I like the nickname Al, too.
Whenever I hear this name, I think more of Alastair Moody from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It sounds like a magical name.

I like it, but I don't know how strong the Aleister Crowley association is, and it could freak people out if they thought the parents of a son with this name were devout followers of him.
I really like this name, I also like it spelled Aleister, like the 19th century British occultist and writer, Aleister Crowley (his real name was actually Edward Alexander Crowley).
