Baby name?

I really like the names Lana & Alana for a baby girl. ONE OR THE OTHER-- not both!!

I have some hesitations with Alana because of others with that name, but want to be sure the name would be properly pronounced.

1. Would you say Lana as LA-nuh & Alana as Uh-LA-nuh???

2. If not, how would you say them??

    I like Lana but it sounds like a nick name. Alana could be pronounced as "ah lawn auh"

    I would say Ah la nah since it starts with an A not a u.

    If you have Alana you have the choice of both names.

    Yes, I would pronounce them they way you've written out the pronunciations.

    LA-nuh.

    Uh-LA-nuh.

    I prefer the name Lana :)

    I think it's more memorable, and it's very pretty!
