Alison is a great name! People always spell it with 2 L's, but I'd rather be unique.

I'm Alison with one L, named after my mother's American name, Alice. She didn't speak English well at the time, so she wasn't sure how "Allison" was spelled, so she just wrote it down phonetically on the birth certificate.

My name is Allison. I could not stand when people would spell it with only 1 L. It looked incomplete to me. Now that I'm older it doesn't matter either way. I have gotten many comments on how beautiful my name is. When I was younger, It'seemed quite plain - I like it now.

When I was a child many years ago I entered the contest for Kentucky Derby,naming a black beautiful horse. I so wanted to win that contest and spent a long time trying to think of the perfect name. I chose "Ebony Princess". I was crushed when my entry didn't win, but I have thought of that name a million times over the years. I love it!

My name is Alison. It used to annoy me that everyone always misspelled my name (by adding an extra "L") but i've given up on correcting people. I guess my name's alright but i've never been crazy about it. It'seems so plain to me.

My name is Alison. I used to want it to be something unique and princess-like. Now, I'm glad I have a normal name. Having one L let's me know if someone is paying attention to me. Also, nobody can pronounce my last name, so having a name that people can say, is great.

I'm an Alison ... my parents spelled it one one "L" and i love it that way. i was named after my grandmother whose name was Alice, which is fitting with the name's origin. people always want to put an extra L in it but i can deal. my sister once looked it up and found out that alison with one L is historically the feminine version and with 2 is the masculine. i like telling people that my parents got it right. ^_^

This is my daughter's name. I liked the name instantly, but wanted to explore other options, but my husband was sold and wouldn't waiver and so the name'stayed. I am glad it did because it fits her perfectly! She is two years old, the first nickname'she got was from her cousin "Zaza" but mostly we just call her Zelda. :)

Alison is a lovely name. In the UK the different spellings are (luckily) very unusual. It's never going to be the most popular name, so It's one to go for if you don't want your child to turn up to their first day at school and discover everyone else is called the'same!
