Alison 1

Alison is also used as a masculine name in English and French. In English, it can be a variant of Allison. However, it's more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine".

On September 15, 1964, three months and a day before my sixth birthday (and fifteen years to the day before my father's liver gave out), the primetime soap opera, Peyton Place, made its debut on network TV. One of the characters was a waif named Allison Mackenzie. Viewers didn't care or even notice that Allison spelled her name like a boy, they just knew that they loved her." Overnight, the actress who played her, Mia Farrow, became a household name, and Allison became one of the most popular girls' names in the English-speaking world. And that is the main reason Americans believe that Alison is only a woman's name.
