I like Altair - "falcon" - as a nn for this. Laz could be cool too.

I like this name, but I always think of the demon from Supernatural so it's out for me.

I adore "proper" sounding names and Alastair is one of my favourites! I don't have a preferable spelling. Alastair, Alistair, Alasdair...It doesn't matter to me.

Am I the only one who thinks of Lord Of The Rings when I see this name? Just the way I pronounce it in my head.

I love Alastair over Alistair! The spelling looks more appealing and I prefer the pronounciation too. I agree about the sophisticated part. Indeed it does look very regal.
