What do you all think of Alana? So you think it goes well with Natalie? My only worry is people will pronounce it differently. I like it sounding Uh-LAN-a. Do you think people will pronounce uh-lay-na. Thoughts?
I'd be surprised if people mispronounced it. I liked the name and almost had it on my list until someone told me it was honey boo boo's name and then I couldn't shake that thought.
I would pronounce it the way you want. Alaina/Elena would be the alternative, so I don't think that will be a big issue. I think it goes well with Natalie
I think it is a beautiful name. I have a friend who's name is Alana, she complains quite often about people mispronouncing it. However, she still loves her name
I like it but I do think it will lead to mispronouncing. Mainly because I know two and they deal with it. One is under 5 and one is my age so early thirties and both run into it
I have friends with a daughter named Alana, pronounced the way you want. I pronounced it correctly right away but my husband was inclined to call her uh-LAY-na. So you might have some pronunciation issues but I don't think it will be an all-the-time thing. It's pretty and goes well with Natalie. My friends call their daughter Lani for short.
That's my name! People sometimes pronounce it A-lay-na but most people get the A-lah-na. And I just correct em if they mispronounce it. NBD.

Uh-lay-NUh is Alaina to me.
I think it's a fine name.
