[Opinions] Re: Alana vs Alaina
in reply to a message by Violet89
"Spellings" makes it look like they sound the same, and they're very different in English. I guess they'd sound similar in French?
I prefer Alana because it's sleeker and simpler. I also like Alanna because of The Song of the Lioness, but I think Alana is more obvious for the pronunciation.
Alaina has a bit of a 90's feel for me, I prefer Elaina (almost sounds the same in my accent, not exactly but close enough that people with those names get confused for each other) because it comes from Elaine and I think that gives it an almost medieval look.
