Alana Nicole?

[SeekingRightName]

Any thoughts on this? My husband wants to know (as do I)...

Alana imo is a rather wet name. It's also very popular atm. I know 4 baby Alana/Alannas.

Nicole is very dated and a bit naff.

Sorry agree with Bunny
Bit naf, sounds like a character from Dynasty or similar.
Think American daytime soaps like 'the young and the restless'
80's glamour and big hair/shoulder pads

I like Alana, I don't know any in rl,
I have an Elana so I'm probably biased

Don't agree with the Dynasty/American comment - unless it was a hyphenated name, but from the way you have typed it I'm guessing you mean as first and middle names?

Anyway, Alana is actually Scottish and Nicole French AFAIK.

Don't know any Alanas in RL, which is always a bonus IMO

I misread it as anna nicole and then of course thought smith.

I know a teen girl called alana, I think it's pretty

I really don't like Alanna/Alanah/Alana etc but then I was never fond of the name Alan either

Nicole nice though

It makes me think of Anna Nicole Smith, I'm afraid.

I like Alana, and Anna Nicole Smith will be forgotten soon enough.

The two names do feel very different, but who ever goes around using their middle name anyway?

I like Alana, but not with Nicole.

Alana is a bit blank in my opinon. And the whole thing is very similar to Anna Nicole.

I'd just Anna Juliet or something completely different. OR change the first bit, eg, Elena Nicole. Elena is nicer than Alana jmo of course.

I think Alana and Nicole both a bit naff. They strike me as names that were quite popular about 15 years ago and haven't really been heard of since.

oh, good point about anna nicole smith. Although it didn't strike me at first, so you might be ok, OP.

why do so many people think names that haven't been around for a while are naff? Surely it's better to bring one back than get stuck with top 10 names that have four in every classroom? The fact that a name isn't in fashion would not put me off!

Anna Nicole... (Smith)... Google her...

Curlycasper, it doesn't put me off. I like names like Jillian, Melanie, Lindsay just to name a few... If people are looking for an unusual name they would be smart to have a few dated names on their list.

Exactly - well said Magaly

I love the name alana (dd's name). I also dont know any other alanas. BTW dd's middle name is jean (after my gran) i think nicole goes quite well but my first thought was also anna nicole smith

I like both Alana and Nicole, and think they go well together - go for it!

Lana is pretty

thought of anna nicole smith too though will anyone remember her in a couple of years?

alana is pretty though as is nicole but not together

Also nn's that you may encounter

lana
lany (what i call dd)
lan (me again lol)
alana banana
lanalooloo
lala

These are just my experience and im sure there are more but i dont really mind any of them

i also thought anna nicloe smith as soon as i saw it!!

I immediately thought the same as MoreCrackThanHarlem, it's a big hair name.

They do match though.

Like both names but separately as like a few other posters it reminds me of Anna Nicole Smith

I have an Elena Nicole so I love it
