Is It Alan Allan Allen or Alain?

Just thought about the name Allan. That's the common spelling here with two Ls, like the author and poet Edgar Allan Poe who we were introduced to in school.
However, I've also come across different spellings like Alan, for the American actor Alan Alda of the old TV show M*A*S*H.
Then there's Allen with an E, which I like better because it sounds better. Interestingly, I have a female cousin named Allen, actually.
But I also like the name Alain, and heard it first also when I was young because of a French car racer named Alain Prost.
Which spelling is most familiar to you and where you live?

It's the same here, some names are also passed down the line.

I don't read much on the Alain. I think have a good hering when it comes to people's names.
