Alayna is on the top of my list and so is Arrielle. Different spelling for both, though. I am having trouble getting past the little mermaid so I'm not sure if I will keep it on my list or not.

I voted for Alayna just because I love the nn Laynee or Laney

Arielle is a beautiful name without the double R.

I like Alayna/Laynee the best, but if you go with Arielle, which is good too, I agree- definitely go with one r so she doesn't always have to correct people.

She's probably going to have to correct a lot of people with Alayna, too.

I'm not sure how to pronounce the second one but I thought of the little mermaid!i like laynee/Lana

I would pronounce the second ah-ree-ell because of the double r, but I still think it looks off spelled that way. I like the name pronounced better that way, but either name is nice.

I would def spell it Ariel. My best friend's name is Ariel. She is a wonderful person!

Thats awesome! Our girl name is Alayna, my moms name is Alex and his moms name is Dayna so combined I came up with Alayna ;-) go for it!! Its beautiful!

Both names are nice, but I'm not a fan of the creative spelling. They're pretty common names, and it's going to look "wrong" (at least it does to me, and I'm sure I'm not alone)

We are also thinking of Alayna but spelled with an E.

Ariel is actually a boy's name. Arielle is the traditional girl spelling.

@FutureMrsMJ12 yup! I was going to do it with an E. I'm still unsure what name for a girl. I have seen so many spellings for Alayna.

I do like Alayna best but Arielle is so pretty too.

I really only like the traditional spellings of names. Alaina or Elena are beautiful. OR you can combine the the two worlds of mermaid and go with Alana who is one of Ariel's sisters!

Lainey is also a common nickname for Alaina.

I like both of them...I havent voted yet.  I'm going to keep thinking about it!

artichoken

I voted for the first one, though I am not overly fond of the spelling either. Both are pretty names!

I'm never surprised with what people are interested in naming their kids or how they want to spell it. Some people are cray! Check out the baby name board too. But I'm lad you weren't thinking of the double R.

You might also like Arianna also. I think Ari is a cute NN.

LUCKY22

If we were having a girl I would have def considered Alayna...I love it and also love the nn Laney!

Richelpedersen

I like Elena myself but it's a no go with my husband

It changes the pronounciation so the spelling in that case does make a difference.
