My daughter Lanie often gets mistaken for Lawn-ie that is not a happy time for her but we get to educate the public with the great meanings her name has every time it's called wrong! :) The name Lanie actually has 2 meanings I know of, first being a Hebrew name meaning the narrow road and second the Hawaiian name meaning heavens, sky. I have called her Lanie Bug since birth. I love her name! That's my stormy child- expect scattered showers of Lanie!
