Never seen small ville.</p> <p>@PinkElephant: yes, like Anna with an L. That's how my grandmothers name was pronounced. I knew an Alana in high school but her name was pronounced ah-lahn-ah</p> <p>@Greentea: Anna with an L </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-14#post-2145798 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 08:10:54 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2145798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I have a friend who named their daughter Lana. They pronounce it Lawn-ah. Is there a character in a superman series named Lana? I think that's where they got it from.

That's the what I pronounced it in my head. I like it in that pronunciation. Not crazy about the other 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-14#post-2145765 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 07:40:45 +0000 PinkElephant 2145765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know both a Lana my age (short for Svetlana) and a Lana who is one (short for Alanna), pronounced the way you like it. I also know an adult whose name is spelled the same way (and isn't a nickname for anything), but it is pronounced to rhyme with "Anna" (Anne-a, not like the frozen princess) ;)</p> <p>I like it - I do think you'll get asked a lot what it is short for though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-14#post-2145754 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 07:25:03 +0000 Greentea 2145754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure how to.pronounce it.</p> <p>Lane-a<br /> Lan-a (like land)<br /> Lahn-a (like Donna) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-14#post-2145743 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 07:07:28 +0000 Ajsmommy 2145743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-14#post-2145739 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 07:01:02 +0000 buttermilk 2145739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-14#post-2145691 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 05:43:53 +0000 anbanan15 2145691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone with this name. I like it when it is pronounced correctly. </p> <p>My mom's name has a different first letter and gets mispronounced all the time. I just don't think people ever hear her name so they just assume it's an entirely different name than it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-14#post-2145683 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 05:28:49 +0000 ValentineMommy 2145683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-14#post-2145673 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 04:52:11 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2145673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-14#post-2145672 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 04:34:26 +0000 BSB 2145672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We really like it.

Lana is a fairly logical nickname for the name we're planning for LO, and DH is always talking about how he's gonna do one bit from the show yelling for Lana. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-14#post-2145608 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 22:51:52 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2145608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's just ok.
