Out of those I prefer Alaina.
As for similar names, I like Elena & Alana (where I live, Elena is pronounced like Alaina in English, and Alana like Ah-LAH-nah).

I prefer Elaina since it's close to Elaine.
I would pronouce Elana ee-LAHN-uh. All the others I'd say ee-LAIN-uh, which I think it what you're going for.

I'd prefer Elaine (El-AIN), but otherwise Alana (although I'd pronounce that one as Al-AH-na, but some people pronounce it Al-ay-na)

I knew an adorable family with a daughter named Alena, so it's my choice. (Sibs were Audrey and Amelia, so cute, and I don't even like matching names.)

I like Alaina or Alayna.
I don't really think of them being the same name as Elena/Elaina/Elana. Or as all of these three being the same name, for that matter.
