I know an adult one, she is rather dull.

I know three (!). And nobody ever called the Lana I went to school with 'anal'. Confused

I like it and just think of Lana del Rey.

My cousin's name in Lana and I think it's beautiful! We're considering it for a middle name if we have a girl. I don't think it's particularly popular, but I know a few adults with the name, apart from my cousin.

Larna?

Nice name.

How about Alana?

Vijac · 03/12/2014 08:22

I like it but prefer Lena (layna).

Wool in Spanish and Italian which puts me off (I'm a linguist) but think it's quite pretty. I prefer Alannah.

I like it but even if I didn't if you do, why not?

Iloveweetos · 03/12/2014 07:49

I know an Alana and they shorten her name to Lana x

Alisvolatpropiis · 03/12/2014 07:46

Lara instead?

ilikepie · 03/12/2014 07:18

Alanna(h)? nn lana?

SnoringNorma · 02/12/2014 01:55

Anal not analysis!

SnoringNorma · 02/12/2014 01:54

My friend has a Lanah. The h was tacked on due to the analysis problem Shock

Yes I do too, I want a pretty name that isn't over popular. I may have to change the spelling though!

I quite like the Lahna pronunciation.

BreeVDKamp · 01/12/2014 21:19

I like it but it's anal backwards... Might be awkward when playing the 'what is your name backwards' game. Shame as it's really pretty and not ordinary!

I only know of one - a 4 month old. Not sure if I like it or not, but if you like it go for it!

DramaAlpaca · 01/12/2014 21:17

Would you pronounce it Lahna or Layna?

InanimateCarbonRod · 01/12/2014 21:12

It means wool in Italian.
