Alaina isn't a creative spelling of a pronunciation of
Elena. It comes from
Alan /
Alain influenced by
Elaine /
Elaina. (
Elaine and
Elena both come from
Helen so they're still related that way, but the main source is
Alan). If anything I'd say
Alayna and Elayna are the creative spellings of
Alaina and
Elaina.
