For my part, my brain automatically interprets your pseudonym as a portmanteau of "Allison" and "unicorn", and there doesn't seem to be much I can do about it. (Not that I would be any more tempted to refer to you as "Allison" than I would be to refer to you as "Unicorn", of course.)

Exactly the interpretation my brain had. Until, of course, Alicorn told me she is named for the horn of a unicorn.

Obligatory wiki link. It isn't the most reputable wiki link.

Yeah, "unicorn" would be a much better slip-up to make in terms of what the name actually means than "Allison".
