What do you think of Lana for a girl? It used to be my favorite name, until I realized what happens when you read it backwards. It put me off the name for a long time, but now I think I don't mind so much anymore as it's such a beautiful name. I'm still a bit worried because in elementary school we used to call each other by what our names spelled backwards all of the time so I'm wondering what other people think.

I pronounce it LAH-na (I dislike LAY-na). I could spell it Lahna or Lanah to avoid the problem I mentioned above, but I don't like the way these spellings look at all.
