Lea and Lana
What do you think about the names themselves and about my combos (I'd love some more suggestions if you feel like it)? They're both very popular here and I had two first-graders at work yesterday.
Lea Carys
Lea Cordelia
Lea Josephine
Lea Magali
Lea Magdalene
Lea Nerys
Lea Ophelia
Lea Penelope
Lea Rose
Lea Veronika
Lana Betony
Lana Brittany
Lana Cassandra
Lana Cordelia
Lana Franciska
Lana Grace
Lana Greer
Lana Olivia
Lana Violet
Lana Wren
ETA: Lea pronounced 'LE-ah' and Lana is 'LAH-nah'.

I really like Lea with that pronunciation and spelling. Lea Magali is fantastic and Lea Nerys is actually making me like Nerys, which hasn't happened before :) Lea Veronika is sweet too - in fact they're all quite nice.
Not so keen on Lana (and it's really close to Lara! Won't it confuse the dog? :) but it's okay. Lana Grace and Lana Violet work best for me from the combos.

I don't love the sound of Lea. Plus this spelling looks incomplete to me. It looks like "tea" with an l. Of your Lea combos, Lea Josephine stands out because I think Josephine is an awesome middle name. Plus Lea Jo would be a cute nickname. Lea Magali stands out because Magali is so unexpected and really livens Lea up. Lea Penelope stands out because of the repeated L, P, and E sounds. It kind of bounces - in a really good way.
Lana is nice. I prefer it as a nickname for Alana, but it's nice on it's own as well. Lana Betony really catches my eye - more for the look than the sound. Lana Grace sounds nice, but it's very safe. Lana Violet is really pretty.
