I love it. Mostly because I can't unsee the meaning and I have a thing for "bright" names. I prefer Świetlana, though - I love the swishing sound of "świe-", and it just means "radiant" in Polish. Świetłana is nice too - the "-łan-" part brings to mind (in Polish) a field of golden wheat and I'm very weak for this kind of imagery. Not a popular name at all but so so beautiful. Although, even in the polonized version it still sounds distinctly Russian.

I'd never use Lana as a nn, though. I don't like it. I'm not sure what I'd use but definitely not that.
