Opinions on this name please

[Pinkmarshmallow]

Lana Louise

I like it different without being too odd.
Unless your surname starts with an L in which case I would change one of them.

I think it sounds very pretty.

Lana is pretty, and quite unusual at the moment.

I do like it, though had never heard it before. Nice with Louise as well. Would go better with some surnames than others.

Thanks for the replies. Don't worry, my surname does not begin with L!

My hairdresser was called Lana, and when I was pregnant, warned me of the way children go through a stage of seeing what their name is backwards. Just a note of caution...

like Lana

i like it. i had a friend at college called Lana

Sorry but i am not a big fan of the alliteration

i like Lana but not sure about it with Louise

haha sheilatakeabow- I remember going through that stage myself. Let's hope this LO (IF it's a girl & IF we do go for this name!)doesn't yet understand the meaning of that word if she goes through that stage too. Apart from all that (thanks for pointing that out, by the way), I think I still like the name....

Like Lana - very pretty. I'm also a bit fan of alliteration, so gets a thumbs up from me. Prefer Louisa though.

Alliterative names are the preserve of superheroes.

Lana is lovely, Louise is bloody awful.

I love alliterative names. By accident my dd is LLB and my DS is KBB (yes we do call him by all 3 names at once!)

How about Lucille instead of Louise?

buckets is your dd going to be a lawyer do you think?

I like Louise and Louisa and even Lara is nice although a bit insubstantial or something.

Lana is anal backwards. I'm sorry to have to tell you this but if it weren't me it'd be a 13 yr old boy in front of the rest of her class.

I like Louise and Louisa but don't care for Lana - it makes (to my ear) quite an ugly sound. Lara is prettier.

I like Lana but keep thinking of Lois Lane with all the Ls. .

Wasn't the Marilyn character in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes called Lorelei Lee?

I also quite like Louise and Louisa, but I am not too keen on Lana.

BUMP-
any more opinions? Kinda set on Louise as it's in the family, but still debating Lana...

Love Louise (it's in my family too). And like Lana too, although I would never have thought of it. Rather 'old Hollywood'. Personally a big fan of alliteratve names.

Go for it!

I love Louise (and Louise) not really keen on Lana though. BUT, don't worry about us, just go with what you like best
