HelpRe: Allison?
in reply to a message by ollyar
I'm a thirty-something American Alison. I've never met an Alison / Allison older than me, and I've met only one my age. If I remember right, I was 14-15 before I met my first other Alison, and she was a toddler. In the U.S., some consider it a little dated, but I think most consider it reasonably fashionable still; the Allison spelling has been a Top 200 name since the sixties, a Top 60 name since 1980, and it's been holding steady in the 30-50 range since 1991. I believe it will continue to be popular here for some time yet to come.
I like Alice, and Alicia (a-LEE-see-a) is okay, but Alison is still my favorite member of this name family and the best (I fully admit I'm biased--I love my name). I think it's beautiful, and it has really served me well at every stage of my life.
I don't like Alisha, Alysha, Alicia-pronounced-this-way, and so on at all, but I've met more than a few of them.
