My name is Allison.  I personally really like my name, and I've never really wanted any other.  I also go by Ally or Allie, but really only my family or friends call me by my nickname.  For some reason I always introduce myself with my full name, because I feel like Ally sounds too childish.  But I've always found a comfort in people calling me Ally because they're usually the ones closest to me.  I also like the fact that it has three syllables because 3 is my favorite number. Allison doesn't really have any special meaning because it just means Son of Alice, which is pretty disappointing because Iâm a girl and I donât know who Alice is. But the root name Alice, does mean âtruthâ, so I guess that means I'm truthful? One thing I donât like about my name is the billions of different ways people spell it.  I always get it spelled with one L or a Y instead of the I, or a double S for some reason. Â
Overall, I do love my name. It represents me, and I personally feel like itâs a really classic name, but not too old, and feminine, but not too girly. I love the flexibility of its nicknames, for when Allison sounds too serious.  But I donât consider myself a serious person at all.Â
