Lana

Zimger

Would you pronounce Lana as (LAN ah) or (LAWN ah)?

Do you think Lanna is acceptable?

LAN-ah

Neither. La-nuh is how I say it. 

Ladiebug710

Lah-na.  Lana or Lanna is fine.

MandyWes:

Neither. La-nuh is how I say it. 

Yeah that's what I thought...I like it better that way. Evidently it is more commonly pronounced as the two I listed above. I came across it at DS daycare.

I think spelling it Lanna would rhyme with Savannah.

PunkyBooster

I say Law-nah

This is a tough one, because everyone says it differently. I babysat a girl named Lana, and they pronounced it Lay-na, so that is how I see it.

And to answer your question, Lannah is fine. I have a neice named Alannah, and they call her Lannah all the time.

LAN-uh because I know one very well. Always call her Lana Banana she does get called LAWN-a a lot though but she just corrects people (she's 6). Never heard La-nuh-- sounds really really strange to me, maybe I'm not saying it right?

I pronounce it Lawn-a.  Every time I see this name I think of Smallville.  I like it, though!

I do not like Lanna, however.

Lana I would say LAY-nuh

Lanna I would say LANN-nuh

 Double N takes away the long A to me.

Ive seen Lonna like Donna before.

 

drunkindonuts

LAN ah, and I prefer the spelling Lana

Lah-na

Law-nuh

LAWN-ah

 

like Alana without the A.

I think Lanna looks weird.

Lah-na

This. And I loved this name until someone on here pointed out what it spells backward.

Hmm...crazy high school antics ruin many names. Thankfully most high school kids grow up...not always, but usually.

I don't know what this means...

Neither. I pronounce it "Lah-na".

And Lannah I'd pronounce like Hannah.

ta78

Lawn-ah, it makes me think of Smallville.

I've known people with both pronunciations.  I prefer Lah-na, because it sounds quite a little more delicate, I think.  Not quite as harsh.

No, we don't watch alot of TV. I have a few series I watch but that's about it and they are on DVD or VHS. The name actually comes from a favorite series of mine though but I shortened it to Lana or Lanna.
