Thoughts on Alana? Also, where do the syllables cut: Al-a-na, Al-an-a or A-lan-a?

Thanks Smile

love it

I like it.

For me, it has to be A-lan-a... If I was shouting the name, I'd stress it as AH..LAH..NAH Grin a bit like AH..LAN (is never shout AL..AN) I'm so overthinking this!

I like it. I think I'd say it as A-la-na (long a in the middle, the other two short)

Sophronia · 19/09/2017 13:31

For me Alana is ah-lah-na and Alannah is ah-lan-a.

Oh and Al-a-na for syllables. Pronounced Al-ar-nah

Ojoj1974 · 19/09/2017 22:37

Al- r- na

BenLui · 19/09/2017 22:38

It's a lovely name. I'd pronounce it A-la-na.

Pretty

It's pretty, reminds me of Honey Boo Boo though!

Best name ever... not biased or anything! 😃

I've been called many variations. Generally - ah- lah - na is the most common!
