We are naming our daughter Ariana. I'm still trying to choose which pronunciation to go with.. I think I like Ahr-ee-ah-na the best. Or maybe Ahr-ee-ana, that way she could go with Ari (not Airy) or Ana for short. I LOVE the name!
my favorite name for a girl, I want to name my first daughter Alaina!
growing up people would often get my name wrong, and tease me about it. while getting older i began to love my name. i get compliments on it all the time these days!

Expecting my second daughter'soon, and love this name... however a bit concerned that with the 'traditional' spelling Alaina, people will pronouce it wrong.... :/ any suggestions on alternative spelling❤️
Our daughter is named Alaina. She is often called "ALANA" instead. We LOVE the name though!
I have a friend named Alaina and no teache's can ever pronounce it right! I don't understand, It'seems pretty simple if you know how to read, but somehow they always mess it up lol!
My name is Alaina, pronounced uh-LAYN-uh, Sheree. Alaina means (cheerful) and Sheree means (dear/darling). So, you know, Cheerful Darling! In my experience people rarely mispronounce it. I'm often'told that It's a beautiful/pretty name. As far as nick names go my siblings sometimes call me Laina/Naina, and my parents (used) to call me Laina-babes.
I used to hate my name as a child because it was usually pronounced wrong and ALWAYS spelled wrong. I now appreciate the uniqueness of my name and think It's beautiful! I'm seven months pregnant with a girl and am desperately searching for a name I love as much as my own. My middle name is Janel
This is my daughters name. She will be two in a couple of weeks. I love this name but wanted to spell it differently and didn't want any question on how to pronounce it. It'suits our daughter perfectly :)
My name is Alaina, and I absolutely love it. It's unique, but not way out there either. Most people call me Alannah on accident. I receive many compliments about how pretty it is. My middle name is Rachel. Alaina Rachel:)
My name is alaina,i hate it. There are no good nicknames for my name. I dont really like to be called laniey,thats what my childhood nick name was. Or lu-bug, or laniey-bug, I liked them as a kid but i dont anymore.
I named my first born Alaina. It is unusual but not weird. We have had a big laugh over a newspaper article that'said parents who chose this name'should be asked what they were smoking at the time! No way! It's a beautiful name for a beautiful young woman (born in '85)
I love my name. Yes, some people do pronounce it wrong. Its pronounced [Uh-Lay-Nuhh]. No, I dont meet anyone else with this name. Very occasionally, but never face to face. I get jealous when people have my name. I always feel like it was mine first. Ive met youngsters with my name, maybe thats why Ive felt that way. I love my name and I love how its very uncommon yet beautiful.
I LOVE my name and the way It's spelled. But i've had many problems with people mispronouncing it, instead saying Alana, Aliana, anything other than Alaina. I even'tell them It's like Elaine, just with a's in place of the e's. Sometimes that'still doesn't work. However, I wouldn't change my name for anything and i've always received compliments about it.
I love my name. My dad wanted an Elaine and my mom wanted an Alanna...I became Alaina. Born in 1986, I don't know that I ever met another person my age with the name. I think It's beautiful, and if people can't pronounce it, they need to go back and learn basic phonics. (I once had someone insist my name was "allah-eena") I'd love to know other middle names with Alaina...mine's Suzanne.
my best friend is Alaina and i hold her dear to me. like a sister. she is very important and i think this name fits her perfectly and fits well with any young child with a fun personality and a heart the size of the world and more. your child will grow to be a lovely young lady with a name like this. my daughters is as well Alaina.
My bff is named alaina, as well. she is a very lovely young, beautiful maiden.

I am due to give birth in december 2021 and since the day I found out I was pregnant I said her name will be Alaina....such a pretty name and not trendy ! I hope It'stays that way....everyone says how pretty it is when I'mention her name ...I am giving her my aunts middle name of Jane, we lost her of a sudden heart attack a few months ago and what a blow to us that was...we were devastated so I am naming my daughter Alaina Jane :)
My daughters name is Alayna, and it is perfect, a beautiful name, that fits her perfectly, everyone always tells me how pretty it is!
I love this name, it was going to be first borns name until we found out it was a boy. But now my beautiful girl Alaina Sofia is here. We call her Lainey sometimes for short, we get so many compliments on what a beautiful unique and different name it is. She may have been named that at its most popular time...she us two, but we have never met another one.
Alaina is a gorgeous name, how do u pronounce correctly
My sister's name. She was born in 1975. Mom made it up by modifying the French man's name, "Alain". So that may be the'starting point.
My name is Alaina Shenae and I love it. It always got on my nerves whenever people mispronounced it and misspelled it. By the way, the correct pronunciation is uh-LAY-nuh.
I think this is a beautiful name; I will name my daughter Alaina.
