+1 for Alison

Alice is a classic name!

They're both great names, but I prefer Alison (spelled that way).

Alice by a long shot. Alison has the same 80s vibe as Jennifer Jessica and Heather to me, while Alice is classic and literary.

Alice.


Alison is used more often.

Alison sounds very 80's. Alice is on a come back.

+1 I think this too. All of the Alisons I know are in their early 40s. Not enough time has elapsed for Alison to feel fresh to me. Alice is darling, though.

OP here again. Thanks for the input. I am definitely leaving toward Alice but worry with a short last name that it sounds “abrupt”.

That can work really well in professional life. I have a short first name and single syllable last name, it’s easy to remember.
