My name is Alana, pronounced Ah-lah-nuh. I hated my name when I was a kid. I even convinced my 1st grade teacher that my name was Jenny. But now I love that my name is unique. My nicknames from it are: Ally, Lani, Lala and Ani. Most common mispronunciation: Ah-lane-ah. Weirdest mispronunciation: Caroline. Seriously, Alana to Caroline. I don't know

This is my name and I love it. I do live in Ireland though, so I don't encounter any difficulties. Queen Maeve in Irish mythology is fierce - gives the name a very strong vibe.

My name is Alana. I think It's a good name and unusual despite people pronouncing it wrong. It doesn't bother me because I like how there's different ways of saying it. I don't usually correct them either.

My daughter's name is Alana. A family member'suggested it and I knew it was the right name for her. It's simple, yet pretty. My daughter'says there are several Alana's in her'school, so I guess It's becoming more popular.

This is my name and I LOVE it. Kirstin is a beautiful but uncommon name. With various spellings, I think "Kirstin" is the most elegant/classy version of the name. However... You will never find a mug, name plate, or sticker'set with "Kirstin". People will constantly mispronoun and misspell your name. A small price to pay for a great a name!

This is my name and It's often mispronounced and misspelled but i've gotten used to it. My name is pronounced Lay-la and spelled Leila. My cousin is named Leilani so they call me Leila and her Lani. Just so we don't get confused. Overall I love my name. I haven't met anyone with the'same name yet but I hope to.
