They're both uh-LAN-na to me. I knew an
Alana, my age, when I was a kid, but it does not seem very dated to me - because I haven't seen it on anybody else really. I guess it's about like
Alison - not new and fresh at all, but not a total yestername either.
I prefer
Alana over all the double-n spellings.
It's a nice name.
