Opinions on this name please

[Pinkmarshmallow]

Lana Louise

[sleepyeyes]

I like it different without being too odd.
Unless your surname starts with an L in which case I would change one of them.

[ChubbyDickAndSnowBalls]

I think it sounds very pretty.

[Lulubee]

Lana is pretty, and quite unusual at the moment.

[choosyfloosy]

I do like it, though had never heard it before. Nice with Louise as well. Would go better with some surnames than others.

[Pinkmarshmallow]

Thanks for the replies. Don't worry, my surname does not begin with L!

[sheilatakeabow]

My hairdresser was called Lana, and when I was pregnant, warned me of the way children go through a stage of seeing what their name is backwards. Just a note of caution...

[dizzyjingles]

like Lana

[thisisyesterday]

i like it. i had a friend at college called Lana

[stillenacht]

Sorry but i am not a big fan of the alliteration

[BabyBaby123]

i like Lana but not sure about it with Louise

[Pinkmarshmallow]

haha sheilatakeabow- I remember going through that stage myself. Let's hope this LO (IF it's a girl & IF we do go for this name!)doesn't yet understand the meaning of that word if she goes through that stage too. Apart from all that (thanks for pointing that out, by the way), I think I still like the name....

[Nancy66]

Like Lana - very pretty. I'm also a bit fan of alliteration, so gets a thumbs up from me. Prefer Louisa though.

[sorkycake]

Alliterative names are the preserve of superheroes.

Lana is lovely, Louise is bloody awful.

[BucketsofReindeerPoo]

I love alliterative names. By accident my dd is LLB and my DS is KBB (yes we do call him by all 3 names at once!)

[BucketsofReindeerPoo]

How about Lucille instead of Louise?

[CountessDracula]

buckets is your dd going to be a lawyer do you think?

[LiffeySaysNollaigShona]

I like Louise and Louisa and even Lara is nice although a bit insubstantial or something.

Lana is anal backwards. I'm sorry to have to tell you this but if it weren't me it'd be a 13 yr old boy in front of the rest of her class.

[BoccaDellaNativita]

I like Louise and Louisa but don't care for Lana - it makes (to my ear) quite an ugly sound. Lara is prettier.

[SAEJ]

I like Lana but keep thinking of Lois Lane with all the Ls. .

[BucketsofReindeerPoo]

Wasn't the Marilyn character in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes called Lorelei Lee?

[Hulababy]

I also quite like Louise and Louisa, but I am not too keen on Lana.

[Pinkmarshmallow]

BUMP-
any more opinions? Kinda set on Louise as it's in the family, but still debating Lana...

[LuLuBaihasbeenagoodgirl]

Love Louise (it's in my family too). And like Lana too, although I would never have thought of it. Rather 'old Hollywood'. Personally a big fan of alliteratve names.

Go for it!

[NorktasticNinja]

I love Louise (and Louise) not really keen on Lana though. BUT, don't worry about us, just go with what you like best
