[Opinions] Re: Opinions on Alana?
in reply to a message by hannah_1721
Alana is very pretty. From what I've read from your post, it sounds like you are pronouncing the ending ANN-a (like Anna) rather than AH-na. Either pronunciation is pretty, but I think Alanna would be less likely to be mispronounced. I definitely think it could be used to honor your great-grandma especially with the spelling Alanna.
Out of your combos, I like these the best:
Alana Bridget
Alana Vivian
Alana July - I rarely see July used as a name. It would be nice to see it actually used.
Alana and Vivian make nice sister names, but I think they sound great as a FN/MN combo as well.
Other names you might like:
Ariadne
Calantha
Calandra
Vianne
Adelia
Adina
Adara
Adrienne
Arabella

Isadora

I say ah-LAH-nah.
I know an Alanna who pronounces it Ah-LAH-na and not Ah-LANN-na
