Which spelling for our daughter's name?

Dh & I like the name Allison but are unsure about the spelling. Also, would love to hear middle name suggestions! Our last name begins with an L if that helps at all.

Thanks!

We were thinking Allison Quinn or Allison Louise...

I've always liked it better with one L. Not sure why, just looks "cleaner" to me somehow. The extra L in Allison doesn't add anything. Either one is fine though.

Please don't do Alyson, I'm tired of Ys randomly replacing Is in every name.

ETA I really like Alison Quinn! If your last name begins with L then Alison Louise might be too much. But it depends on the name.

I prefer Allison but agree with PP not to do the Y.

I like it with one L, too. Neither middle name is my style.

I love the name Alison! And that's how I prefer it spelled.

I love Alison Louise and think it's fine with an L last name.

Alison Brooke comes to mind right away for me.

I think Allyson - spelled this way -  is a perfectly acceptable way to spell the variation of the name Allison. Two l's and a y.  

Of the spellings you've listed.  I like Allison Quinn best. 

I do agree with pp that some randomly placed "y" to substitute for a traditionally placed "i" is pretty bad, but in this case - VERY acceptable. Allyson is not some made-up spelling.
