Allena (pronunciation is a cross between Alan and Helena)
- is it easy to pronounce/spell?
- middle name ideas

Abi (I don’t like Abigail)
- is it okay as a full name?
- how would you spell it?
- middle name ideas

Madelaine (like Madeleine but LANE at the end)
- is it easy to pronounce/spell?
- does you instantly think of a mad person called Elaine?
- middle name ideas

Allena - Are you pronouncing it (Ah LYN ah) ?
I also like the spelling Alenna


Abi (I don’t like Abigail)
I think the -i ending makes it look incomplete...I'd spell it Aby or Abby for a first name.

Madelaine (like Madeleine but LANE at the end) -- Sounds made up IMO...Madeline is my sisters name and I think it is beautiful the way it is...Why change it?

I still think Madelaine is adorable and really unique... and I've been thinking about Abi. I love Abi and I know I suggested the spelling Abby but I think I agree with Yaz on Abbey. It looks way more complete. Anywho thats my two cents!
