Alannah

[MissMoodyMoo]

Ok 2nd name of the day is Alannah 🙄

I really like it, I know 2 but very different ages.

I think it means something like 'baby' though, rather than it being a name with a meaning. Does that make sense?

Nice name:)

My dd is Alannah and it is an Irish term of endearment meaning darling child.
My dds is pronounced like Hannah Al-annah though not Al-ah-na.

It’s a nice name. It isn’t my personal taste but it’s pretty. Morisette, Miles, all OK in my book 👍🏼

I love it. It's beautiful and fits my naming criteria of being recognisable without being popular. Would have had it for DD2 but DD1 is Anneka and so thought they clashed!

It's okay. I've only ever seen it spelt 'Alana'. Quite like the shortening 'Lana'.

I know this as the Irish term too (I’m not Irish but family are) , I love it

I quite like it, also know people with other spellings eg Alana, Alanna

Love it x

I prefer the Alana spelling, pronounced A-laa-nah. I know an Alannah who’s super cool so that always helps. It’s uncommon without sounding silly or made up - the perfect combo.

@NC4Now - it’s Alanis Morrisette, not Alannah

I like it, only ever seen it spelt Alana. Think Lana is a cool nn too as in del ray.

Like it, but the one I know is known as Laa-laa, just like the tellytubby, as it is what her sibling can pronounce.

I’ve only known it as Alanna

Reminds me of honey boo boo

Like it, but people will pronounce it in different ways, so you could end up correcting it to your chosen pronunciation frequently.

I like it, but prefer this spelling, Alanna.

Love it. The Alannah spelling is best imo.

Alannah or Alanna leave no doubts over the pronunciation. Al-ANN-a
Alana is Al-AH-na.
It's lovely.
