Re: Alison
Alison is the usual spelling in the UK, & Allison is a surname. I like it too, but it's definitely dated here - I've never met or heard of a young one. It was in the top 100 from the 1950s to the 1980s and peaked in the 60s, so most Alisons are middle-aged, and older ones aren't uncommon. I'm surprised it ranks so high in the US.

Agree with all this. I've never seen it spelled Allison here.

Going through school records, I found one Alison and two Allisons who must have been born (here in South Africa) in the late 1940s - they left school in 1965.Can we have been ahead of a trend for once?
