When my parents planned on having a second child (me!) they immediatly started picking out manes, but would not share with each other which ones they liked. So one day they finally sat down and discussed it. My dad said he really liked Allison, and my mom started jumping up and down, because that was also one of her favorite names.
So when it came to my middle name they fought for 9 monthes! My dad liked Ann and my mom felt like they should carry on family tradition and name the baby part of the grandparents names, which left them with a choice of Jean, Betty, Blanche, or Elizabeth. My mom liked Elizabeth after my fathers mothers middle name. So it wasn't decided untill I was born that I would offically be named Allison Elizabeth
I love my name, even though my friends all call me Allie LOL
