Except Alison, of which the ending is -on, not -son. Little Alice - Alis-on.

Addison Lee.

CollaborativeBee · 12/04/2020 18:08

Oh yes, Alison is a lot prettier, and Allie is nicer than Addie.

CollaborativeBee · 12/04/2020 18:09

What is the flower Allysum

DramaAlpaca · 12/04/2020 18:12

As loads of people have already said, it's a big no from me because it makes me think of the disease and the taxi firm.

Ginginwine · 12/04/2020 18:14

I know one, goes by Addie.
It’s nice.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 12/04/2020 18:38

I like it and I like addalyn

That always just makes me think of addling, though, as in 'this stress/noise is really addling my brain'.

user1493494961 · 12/04/2020 19:08

Awful, first thought was the disease.

Jessmary94 · 12/04/2020 19:29

Yes love it, its on our shortlist for when I do finally fall Pregnany. Always been one of our faves. X

Meltedwellie · 12/04/2020 19:32

Awful. Made me think of the disease too. Even if there wasn’t that connection it’s still awful.

Zelda93 · 12/04/2020 19:33

I really liked it and wanted for my dd but dh wasn't having it!

NoSquirrels · 12/04/2020 19:36

Addison Lee.

That’s a nope.

ByGrabtharsHammerWhatASavings · 12/04/2020 20:28

I like it op, definitely made me think of the greys anatomy character (in a good way) Unfortunately the connection to Addisons syndrome seems to have put many people off, so here's a helpful list of some other names which have "disease" or "syndrome" after them, so those who are concerned can avoid them:

Adam
Alexander
Anton
Arnold
Benjamin
Bernard
Brooke
Claude
Duane
Edward
Emanuel
Evan
Gilbert
Irvine
Jakob
Laurence
Leigh
Lou
Marie
Martin
May
Oliver
Primrose
Riley
Roger
Russell
Steven
Vincent
William

You're welcome

RuthW · 12/04/2020 21:02

Another vote for the disease. Sorry

PaddyF0dder · 12/04/2020 21:03

Addisons Disease.

CodenameVillanelle · 12/04/2020 23:05

Horrible sorry

Astronica · 12/04/2020 23:17

I don't like it. Adelaide however is lovely.

123Dancewithme · 12/04/2020 23:32

Horrible. Adelaide or Adeline are much nicer.

SeaLettuce · 12/04/2020 23:37

What (possibly) killed Jane Austen.

Methyl · 13/04/2020 00:18

It's what would have killed JFK if an assassin hadn't.

Pickles89 · 13/04/2020 00:28

My first thought was 'disease', my second 'son of'.
