Lol! It drives me crazy when people spell my name with two l's. But I get that it's common. I'm an Alison too. And yes people have spelled it with a Y and two s's.
I applaud anyone who makes even a half decent attempt at spelling or pronouncing my name.
You have a complex. Your name is not that hard.
I really do. But you try spending the last 37 years of butchered spellings and pronunciations of a name you don't even like in the first place and you'd have a complex too!
I know people who don't have a H in their name but mine is spelt with an H. It used to drive me crazy as a kid. Then I realized, it's a sanskrit name and the H is understood and is only there for pronunciation purposes, so I can't really get mad, lol.
It's one of my biggest pet peeves. My name is a pretty popular and I actually think the way I spell it is the most common but there are other ways and people are constantly getting wrong. It especially annoys when they spell it wrong when they are replying to my emails... It's right there spelled correctly!
eta: reading fail, you said not about us specifically. Mainly I'm amazed by the unique spellings people have come up with for it.

Yes. There are two common spellings of my name. I like mine better, of course. I've seen some really whacked out spelling, though. It offends my delicate sensibilities.

I don't think there is a " right" way to spell my name but Alyssa is the most common. I have to ask every one who tells me they my name how they spell it. I just need to know;)
Amazingly enough people misspell my daughters names sometimes and that amazes me. They are old lady names that you really can NOT get unique on.
