Re: how do you pronounce
in reply to a message by Lily
Alana: uh-LAH-nah
Alanna and Alannah: uh-LANN-ah (middle syllable rhymes with Anne)
I'm from the US. I hate uh-LANN-ah and don't like ah-LAH-nah. The former is ugly and nasal the latter is insubstantial and fluffy, and somehow manages to seem dated and trendy at the same time.
I know an Alana and an Ilana.
