Alannah or Tabitha?
I love both but think that Alannah will be constantly mispronounced. Also, I'm struggling with middle names to match. Which do you like better? Feel free to add any middle names you feel would flow... =o)

Tabitha, for sure. Lovely name!
Tabitha
It's older, prettier, and less likely to be mispronounced.

Alannah is lovely, but I'd rather be a Tabitha.

Tabitha, I suppose, but if Alannah was changed to Alana I'd vote for it.
Well, Alannah is probably prettier, but Tabitha has more, maybe, staying-power.
I think Alannah must be more common in the area where I grew up, as I immediately knew how to pronounce it!

How do you pronounce Alannah? I kind of have the same problem. I love the look of Alannah but would want it pronounced ah-LAH-na yet I fear people will always say al-LAN-na. I like Alana as well and it could solve the pronunciation issue. Yet I have also met people who pronounced Alana as al-LAN-na and even al-LAY-na.
I love Tabitha as well, used to be one of my favorites. I love the nickname Tabby, it's so cute.
Really I can't decide. I guess today I'd choose Tabitha but that could have changed by tomorrow. Alannah wouldn't only be mispronounced but also misspelled. Hmm but I really love them both and if you love Alannah so much just use it no matter what.
