[Opinions] Re: Alison
in reply to a message by mirfak
I prefer the Alison spelling, which is the authentic one. The double L strikes me as redundant, and Allison is a surname.
I don't think it's dated - it fits very well with the current craze for -son names for girls, names like Madison and Emerson, but unlike them isn't from a masculine root.
Yes, Alison is lovely!
DH - to my utter surprise, as he normally won't go past Lucy - mentioned it the other day out of the blue as being "a really nice name".
There was a cool blond Alison at school with me, a very different personality from the spunky rocker Allison on last year's American Idol or the whacky-but-sweet Allison Harvard who was runner-up in America's Next Top Model. It's a name that can fit anyone.
