What do you think? Honest reviews please! How would you spell it?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I wouldn't spell it like that.
It would be Alannah, Alanna or Alana.

It sounds ok but I don't think I can get past the Alan part as I really don't like that name.

RunningFromInsanity · 27/09/2022 17:49

Terrible spelling.
Alana is fine.

angelopal · 27/09/2022 17:52

Alanna or Alannah

ChocolateSpreadOnToast · 27/09/2022 17:52

Alannah or Alana.

FivePotatoesHigh · 27/09/2022 17:52

Great name but should be spelled Alannah

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 27/09/2022 17:57

Alannah for me too.

That's how it would usually be spelt in Ireland.

piegone · 27/09/2022 17:58

Alana for me.

Same here, clues in the name Allan nah.

Spell it with just one L and two Ns.

Alannah
Alanna

Alana is A-layna

It has nothing to do with the name Alan regardless of how it looks.

Grungeho · 27/09/2022 18:25

Love it! Would use it myself but doesn't flow with my surname.

IShouldBeWriting · 27/09/2022 18:27

I love it so much.

Cuppasoupmonster · 27/09/2022 18:28

I like the spelling Alannah!

BeanieTeen · 27/09/2022 18:29

I would just spell it correctly.

Epicstorm · 27/09/2022 18:30

I like it a lot. Alanna for me.

Trisolaris · 27/09/2022 18:30

Alana

GalesThisMorning · 27/09/2022 18:31

Ilana. Beautiful name

Jemimapinotduck · 27/09/2022 18:44

My dad is allan, would have loved to have used Alannah but doesn't go with our surname... And my husband vetoed it!! 🤣🤣

Bootsandcat · 27/09/2022 18:47

Alannah for sure

Sarahcoggles · 27/09/2022 19:00

It depends how you want it pronounced.
I think Alannah might get pronounced with a short A. Like Al-Anna, rather than Al-arna.

But this thread proves that your child would spend their life spelling their name for people!

RuthW · 27/09/2022 22:10

Alana

Lovely

DickDarstedly · 27/09/2022 22:12

How about Ria? It flows better

Luredbyapomegranate · 27/09/2022 22:23

70s groupie

Don’t much like it - Alana is easiest spelling I think

dandelionthistle · 27/09/2022 22:28

Alannah. I like it.

Whataretheodds · 27/09/2022 22:33

I'm not keen but i can't put my finger on why.

Worst is 'A-larn-ah'

LondonQueen · 27/09/2022 22:35

Elana or Alana.
