Middle name for Tabitha

[Mysa74]

Hi I'm looking for a middle name for my daughter, her first name is probably going to be Tabitha.
I'd like to honour my dad who we sadly lost to prostate cancer in march. His name was Alan... any ideas of names that would work? I like Alana but am unsure of best way to spell it and am wondering if there are any other suggestions?

How about Lana (Alan but letters switched about)

Love the name Lana

Elan - style, spirit, flair. One letter out from Alan but maybe too easily confused with Elaine.

Tabitha Alana

I agree, Tabitha Alana

My dad was an Alan, too.

Tabitha Alana
Tabitha Nala (Alan backwards)
Tabitha Ellen

Alana or Alanna both work.

Alana
Alayna
Ally
Nala
Allanna
Alison
Aleni
Allena

Alana / Alanna
Aline
Alina
Alma
Alba
Althea
Anaïs
Amandine

Thank you everyone... Do many spellings, would you pronounce them differently?
Which would be Ala-a and which a-lar-na
Alana
Alanna
Alannah
Allanna
Allanah
Allannah

Alan means Harmony, so I would go with that.

I love the name Nala, and in African it means Queen, lion and successful woman. ( also in Alan backwards)

I love Nala but unfortunately it blends into our surname and sounds a bit like a stutter...

What do you mean 'in African'? You do know there is no such language as African?

father - I took that off the search I did on Internet. Forgot to every post had to be pwrfect in every way.

So you repeated it not knowing there is no language called African? Fair enough.

Nala is pretty.

Tabitha Alana is a lovely way to honour your late father.

I have known 2 Alanas in my life - Alana and Alannah. I prefer Alana.

Thank you everyone, I'm going to go with Alana. My husband agrees and has just revieled that his dad's middle name is Allen so our choice should please everyone, Win-win!
