I pronounce it as ah-LAH-nuh. Lah is pronounced like in Llama.

al-AH-nah

Uh-law-nuh, I dislike any other pronounciations. I do like the spelling Alanna the best, though. I think it's a very pretty name. I know the sweetest little girl named Alanna.

Alana Lillian
Alana Rebecca
Alana Catherine
Alana Holly
Alana Corinne

I would pronounce Alana as "uh-LAH-nuh."

Just for comparison sake, I'll add that I would pronounce Elena as "uh-LAY-nuh" (or close enough) and Alannah as "uh-LAN-uh."

---

I prefer Elena and Alannah to Alana, sorry.

Have you ever heard of Alani? It's a Hawaiian girl's name meaning orange tree. It is pronounced, "uh-LAH-nee."

I pronounce Alana, uh-LAN-uh. I think it is a pretty name.

I think the most correct pronunciation is uh-LAN-uh, but I prefer uh-LAHN-uh. This is one name that I love (Helena is another), but probably wouldn't use due to my thoughts about its pronunciation.
