How would you pronounce Elaina?

[KaosReigns]

Just that really, I'm starting to worry I have a speech impediment because 90% of people pronounce it differently. Her grandmother called here Alana for the first 6 months.

I'd pronounce it as ee-lay-na.

Ell-ay-na

I would pronounce it eh-lay-na

E-lay-na

Eh-LAY-na

Ell-ain-a or Ell-en-a with the emphasis on the second syllable in both instances.

Elle-arn-a

I'd say it like Elaine but with an a at the end. Emphasis on the first E.

E lay na

I’d say it like Elaine but with an a on the end, emphasis on the middle ‘ai’, but I wouldn’t be sure.

El-lay-na

Eh-lay-nar

Eh-LAY-nah.

Like Elaine but with an a at the end instead.

Ee-lay-naa

Eh-LAY-nah

Yep-me too.

How do you say it, OP?

El- ay - na

Eh-LAY-nah

Ell-ay-na

How do you pronounce it?

Eh-lay-nuh

Ell-ay-nah. Tho wasn't there a girl on BNTM who pronounced it ell-ee-ar-na?

I would pronounce it Elaine with an a on the end

We pronounce it elaine with a on the end like most of you. Everyone else says Eleanor, ellen-a, ellie-ahn-a or dozens of other variations. Even when I say it as opposed to them having read it. Maybe I have a speech impediment that I'm unaware of.

El ay ne ah

It's a very old name, it's not like we made it up. We actually took ease of pronunciation in to account when choosing it so I'm pretty disappointed.
