I used to love the name Alisa (Ah-lee-sah), but I've never really liked the *son part in Alison / Allison.
Miranda is gorgeous, though.

If it helps, it's not actually -son in Alison. It's composed of Alis- (i.e. Alice) and -on (a medieval French diminutive suffix). You see the same ending in names like Manon, Marion, and Ninon.

Thanks for the info! I didn't know that.
Well, I blame Madison, this name led me astray! :)

I still prefer Alis, Alice, Alissa, Alyssa, to deceptive Alison.
