So up until now baby due last week if she is a she we were thinking Annabel or Arabella these have been around from the start then all of a sudden somebody, think it was DH, suggested Alannah, DD likes it, DH likes it DM likes it i like it but i'm not good with hasty decisions, I don't adore it but then i'm not allowed have the names I love as DH doesn't like them. What does everyone else think?

My DD is Alanah. I still love it 19 years laterGrin
I should add that all of her friends call her Lani which i've also grown to love!
Great name and not very common.

Love it, was on my short list for DD2. It's a term of endearment for "child" in Ireland too.

Gorgeous name. Pretty, unusual, and would suit a little girl and a woman.

I know a baby one, she's lovely. How are you pronouncing it - A-LA-nah or A-LAN-ah?
