Spelling of name

[winkle2]

How would you spell the name pronounced A-lay-na?

Ah ...I see .

I think you would need to like how the name is pronounced ,where you live , rather than how it looks .

One of those names above is my dd2 s name ....and I've never heard it pronounced with an r ... Except by my lovely friend who is from middle England ... and I keep correcting her !

we'd say it (alana) as alaaaana. sort of an 'aah' sound in the middle.

Now I'm worried have I been pronouncing my dds name wrongly for 16 years !

i had heard very northern people (lancashire) say it al-anna

"Suppose it depends if you have an accent or not ."

Precisely. :) I'm not pronouncing it wrong, I'm pronouncing it differently to you - it's the whole barth/bath argument :)

Soup dragon ...I used the wrong phrase ...I appologise .

Btw I say bath .

Alena

love the name!
