  • Thanks, ladies.

    Elana, pronounced like El-ah-na, is one of my new favorites, but I thought there would be the possibility of people pronouncing it like Elaina and from the looks of this poll, most people would.

    I guess that one will be a no-go if we ever have a girl. haha

    I think if I saw Ellanna I'd pronounce as above.

    Hm. I don't know if I like the double L and double N, but maybe spelling it Elanna would help to make it more clear?

  • Yes, I think double N helps a lot!

    I see it the way you do, but definitely agree that Elanna would clear up any confusion you were looking to avoid.

  • I think it could also be spelled with an A - Alana or Alanna.
