It looks doomed to be mispronounced or misspelled. I'll bet she gets called a-LIS-ee-an or Alice Anne frequently.

Epic fail

Wow, that's got to be the worst misspelling of Allison I've seen yet. Although Alycesun comes close.

Oh, it's Allison! It took me a while to figure that out lol.

---

Why must creative spellings get to the point where it's almost impossible to read the actual name? It makes the parents come across as illiterate.

Let me tell you, as someone named Allison, it's ridiculous how many people think it's spelled Alician or Alicean. I have to give my first name over the phone a lot at work, and the things people either spell back to me or write on faxes... wow. There are four normal ways to spell Allison (Alison, Alyson, Allyson) and yet I get Alician and Alicean ALL THE TIME.

Poor little Alicean. I hope she goes by Ali or something.

I think Alicean is aesthetically pleasing, but pronouncing it like Allison ruins it. Alicean looks like it should be al-i-see-an.

I read it as Elysian, which would have been a cool name. Allison, though? Yawn.

I don't even get it

---

I don't get how Alicean = Allison. I'd say it "Alisseen".

---

On the upside, Alice Anne would be super nice!

I read it as "al-i-SEE-an." *sigh*

---

Alison, with one "L," is the only spelling I like.

Looks like the term for somone from the land of Alice.

I didn't even realize that Alicean was supposed to be Allison. I thought it was supposed to be pronounced al-i-CEE-an. Wow. Fail.

---

By the way, I've met an Allicyn. Or maybe it's Allicynn. Whatever. Still, Alicean and Allicyn are both just strange butcherings of a perfectly fine name.

I wanted to pronouce it uh-LEESH-in... ick

I kinda like Alice Anne. Don't see how this could be corrupted to Alison

Um... OK.

---

I would pronounce it al-iss-ee-an, the "ean" bit would sound like "ee-ann" (two syllables) as in caesarean or meander or "een" (one syllable) as in dean or clean too me, rather than "on" as it would in Allison.
