The misspelling just makes it look...uneducated. Or trendy. I think you should just use another name or deal with Lana spelling anal backwards.

I think Lanah looks the best and makes the most sense. GL!

I actually thought the spelling of Lahna looked pretty, reminds me of a Hawaiian name.

Yeah, my husband will absolutely not choose the name without changing the spelling, and we cannot agree on anything else. The other spellings are actual names, Lanah is a legitimate hawaiian spelling, as is Launa I believe.

Is it pronounced like Shawna because if so spell it Launa.
posted by guest :: 16 years ago | report
Yes, it is pronounced like Shawna. Thanks so much for all of your advice! Even if it’s bad. :) Its good to know beforehand what people will think.

I’d go with Lanah or Lanna.

How about just Lona or Lonna?

Maybe you should choose another name instead of settling on a spelling. You should love the sound and look of your little girl’s name! Maybe Lana could be the middle name, and then the whole "anal" thing wouldn’t matter. What other names do you like?

That’s the problem! My husband and I don’t agree on anything! He likes trendy names like Madison, Makayla, McKenzie etc. I like classic names like Isabella, Genevieve, Ella, etc.

We eventually came up with Leighton, with the nickname of Leia, that we would both settle on. But its not our favorite name the way Lana is.

Oh my gosh... are you the poor couple that got slammed on the Leighton/Leia poll?

Lana, however you spell, it is a beautiful name.

Lanah Camille
Lanah Caroline
Lanah Catherine
Lanah Christine
Lanah Danielle
Lanah Madeleine
Lanah McKenzie
Lanah Morgan
Lanah Rose
Lanah Trystan

Lila might also be a fn you’d agree on.

Good luck, guys. :)

Hi, yes, we are that couple! My name is Kristy, by the way. I haven’t posted my name on here much because we’ve been so back and forth on names that I fear people will get tired of my polls and stop answering! Thank you so much for your support! :)

I had the same problem. We couldn't decide on a name together. I liked Leona, Fiona, Evelyn, Charlene... Finally 'Lana' was chosen but the spelling isn't my favorite. I wanted to spell the name as 'Lawna' but we went with 'Lanna' and it's driving me crazy that people want to say it like Hannah :( It boils down to where you're from when it comes to pronouncing A's... Complicated!
