WDYT of: Alaina/Elayna/Elana/Elaina/whatever else?

Which spelling do you prefer?

Out of those, Alaina.
But I prefer Elaina.

Elaina

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)

Elena!

Same. It's my middle name/grandmother's name.

Alaina.

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.)

Different pronunciations, but I like Alaina and Alanna.

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.

I have an Elaina :) We pronounce it E-Laina not Uh-Laina

So precious :D

I don't like it, but I like Elaine.

i don't like it too much. i actually like how elena looks best, but if i had to choose from your options, i'd choose elaina.

elena.

the others look made-up.

I like Alaina- but I prefer Alanna

How about Eliana?

Elina.

Alaina

I'm indifferent to it. It's not one of my favorites but I don't think it's bad :)

Alaina or Alayna

I prefer the spelling Elena.

But I've also known an Alaina and I liked that spelling, too.

Elena or Alayna
