I like Elena

Alaina is quite trendy. Elaina has a more traditional sense of style, and also seems more romantic. Have you considered middle names?

Yeah, these spellings are better:

Elena
Alena

I like Alayna better. Alaina is also one of my favorites. Elaina seems more adult, but your child would be happier to have Alaina as a child and teenager.

The middle name would be Christine. I’m not sure I believe that this poll got this many votes in a few minutes - do you guys? Elena is very nice. Do you think it would get pronounced wrong all the time, though? I want A-LAY-NA, not A-LEE-NA. I like the comment about Elaina being traditional and Alaina being trendy...I think that is true.

Elaina/Alaina Christine is very pretty. Alaina probably got so many votes because someone was voting more than once. It’s sad, but it happens.
In addition to Elaina, I also like Elena. It will be mispronounced more than Alaina/Elaina, but if you keep correcting it, it will probably eventually stick. =) Good luck!

I would pronounce Elena/Elaina "Ellen-uh" or "EE-lay-nah". If you want the pronunciation to be "A-LAY-NAH", then spell it Alaina. Alaina is beautiful and ages well - I like it 100X better than the "E" spellings.

My daughter is Elaina. It is a beautiful, classic which will age well with your daughter.
