As everyone else has probably already stated, the pronounciations for these two names would be different from each other. Uh-LAN-uh vs uh-LAYN-uh (For some reason my phone isn't allowing me to copy the 'schwa' part of the text but whatever) As much as I like both names, I would have to go with
Alaina. I just think it sounds slightly better and has a more softer, inviting sound to it. Also, as much as I realise that
Alaina doesn't seem to have much love going for it, (Many seem to not care for it) it's actually my favorite out of all the variants.
Elena is really nice as well (
Even with the other various pronounciations) I don't care much for
Elaina or any of the others.
