[youtalkintomeunderthemiseltoe]

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?

I went to school with an Alana never met another since. I think it's lovely but perfere the Alana spelling.

My 3rd is called Alanah so I obviously love it We pronounce it A-lar-na.

Alana - one of my favourite names (before I read your thread, OP)

Lovely name. I think it has a very warm and international feel to it. I would pronounce it as if it was Irish 'a-LANN-ah' with the flat 'lann' as in 'Ann', and I love the meaning.

I think to avoid mispronunciations you might like to spell it Alannah, though people seem to be able to mangle pretty much anything ime.

Met an adult Alannah, and she's very lovely. I like it.
