Thoughts on Alana?

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?

It's goes fine with Natalie and I don't think it will have significant pronounciation issues.

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 like it and I think it goes great with Natalie. I think it's pretty easy to pronounce correctly.

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.
