Re: Alaina
in reply to a message by Lily
Elaine is my favourite, followed by Delaney. I also really like Alaina and Elaina, but I just can't decide what the best way to spell it would be.
Lana, Lane, and Melaina are nms.
If I were going to use Lainie as a nn, I would change the spellings of Lane and Lana to Laine and Laina.
For me, Alaina = ah-LAY-nah and Elaina = e-LAY-nah.
Also, I completely agree with you that Helena nn Lainie makes no sense at all. Ellie or Lena would make sense, but Lainie would just confuse me. I would think I were pronouncing her name incorrectly.
