Comments for the name Alannah

Derived from the vocative form of the Irish (Gaelic)word for child "a leanbh".

Alannah is a very nice, not overly used name. With the popularity of Anna I am surprised it isn't used more often. I prefer the spelling of Alanna or Alana though.

I only like this spelling due to the Irish heritage of it.

Famous bearer is the singer Alannah Myles. She is famous for "Black Velvet" amongst others.

My name is Alannah. I was named after the singer Alannah Myles (my mom was a big fan). I really like the name, and I've managed to get a lot of nicknames out of it. Lana, Ala, Ally, Anah. My only problem is that it gets pronounced a lot of different ways.

This is very pretty. I want to use it to honor someone named Alan. Although I don't think the two names are related, Alannah has Alan in it. But anyway, I love this name.

Alannah Hill is an extremely successful fashion designer who focuses on creating whimsical clothing.

Alannah Currie is a New Zealand musician and artist, best known as a former member of the British pop group Thompson Twins.

I like this spelling because I like the h at the end.

"Black velvet in that little boy's smiiiiile..."

God, I hated that song. Hate the name Alannah *because* of that song. It sounds trashy and desperate, like a 50 year old woman at the end of a bar who tries like hell to attract the men and be what she once was, not getting that her time is up. Uh-uh.

Alannah is the name of a cousin of mine. I do like it but I do find it a teeny bit snobbish.
