Which spelling??

[FatimaLovesBread]

DH and I are looking at baby names, although we're no where near making a decision.

One name on our potential girls list is Alanah but we don't know which spelling is best.
Alana
Alanna
Alanah
Alannah

Alannah

[babyblabber]

I would say Alannah too. Lovely name. A potential for my as now imaginary next baby!

[worldcitizen]

Alannah

I know a 12 year old and her name is Alanis, she is half english and half Spanish

[Badgerina]

Alannah

[AWomanCalledHorse]

Alana.
I think it's a greatly underused name (we already have many Alan's in the family so wouldn't use it).

[FatimaLovesBread]

Looks like Alannah is winning so far. I just worry that people might pronounce the double-n spelling as ALAN-ah rather than a-LAH-nah

[YoullLaughAboutItOneDay]

Alannah. It would not cross my mind to say Alan - ah rather than A-lan-ah.

[lljkk]

Alana. Others look fussy & frilly to me.

[Gugglebum]

They may pronounce it that way, but if you use Alana, you'll get some saying a-LAY-nah. I do think most people will get it right spelling it Alannah.

Alannah, I'm Irish and have never seen it with another spelling. Gorgeous name.

[lljkk]

That's funny I'm American & a 70s kid, and Alana was the only spelling I encountered growing up.

[LemonLovesLilac]

Alannah

[MrsFogi]

I've also seen Aleanbh.

[MrsFogi]

Beautiful way whatever spelling you choose.
