My name is Alayna, and I think that's it's a lovely name. Even though many people say "Alana" (uh-lawn-uh), it's still an amazing name. The one thing I don't get about it is why people think that the "y" is not there. I personally find it annoying when people pronounce it wrong. But overall, it's a great name. If your name is Alayna and you like your name, take the name Hannah into consideration when choosing a name for a baby girl. It has the same meaning as Alayna (beautiful, dear child), and it sounds just as lovely!
My name's Alayna I'm 12 and I personally love it. It's a very pretty name but sometimes I get called Alana or some kids at school call me Elena of Avalor.
I'm going to be biased because this is my name, but I feel that:"UH-LAY-NUH" can be spelled like: Alayna or Alaina. ( I don't like the I spelling for obvious reasons)Elena to me is " Ellen-a" or "EL-len-a" (because since when do e's make a short or long a sound?) Elaina is literally "EE-lay-nuh) And Alana is "uh-la-nuh"I feel like the y is not slient, nor should it ever be silent. Yet somehow, people call me Alana. As if the y is not there. I don't understand how anyone could see that. Furthermore, after searching for the meaning of this name for years, I've come to the conclusion that it is just an English-speaking name overall. I've been primarily told it's English.
My name is Alayna and it is spelled with a "y." I don't think it is trashy at all. A mother can name her child whatever she wants. I think the y spelling variation of the name is the best.

This name sounds too little girlish, but I know 2 Alaynas - Alayna Grace and Alayna Rae - and they're just crazy!
I LOVE this name! It's extremely gorgeous, one of my favorites. I've also seen it spelled Alaynha, though I don't know where the 'h' came from.

I like the name ALAINA, but it spelled like this isn't like necessary. I think it is a stupid that people like this spelling over ALAINA. Just my opinion.
Alayna is a beautiful, elegant name. I really like this spelling the best.

Honestly, I think this is one of the prettiest names in the world. I also think a lot more people should know about this name. I think many, including myself, would prefere this spelling over Elena, Elayna, or Alaina.
