I suppose Allison can be considered to be among the first wave of baby-boomer baby names, although she didn't really hit her stride until the 1970s.  From this point on, she has spent 43 years in the top 100, peaking at #30 in 2009.  Despite a drop of 10 places in 2016, she remains on a relatively steady course.
