My dad’s name is [name_m]alan [/name_m], so i always thought i would use [name_f]alana [/name_f] for… It’s between [name]elena [/name] and [name]alina [/name]. I need some naming advice!!!
I love the name [name]alana[/name], but a good friend of mine named her daughter that, and i know it would cause problems if i did the same. We have a little girl named [name]alana[/name] and she is having a baby sister. I am not terribly bothered by the similiarity, but would love some feedback.
There are several other names i really like, but i have concerns about all of them: So, my middle name is my paternal grandfather’s name, and i always thought i would do the same thing with my first child. We [name]love[/name] the name [name]adriana[/name], but it is awfully close to [name]alana[/name]. I prefer [name]elaine [/name] or [name]helena [/name].
While i’m usually not a fan of extra letters in names, i prefer the spelling [name]alanna[/name] over [name]alana[/name] because i feel like it looks more complete, and also i have an aunt with “[name]ann[/name]” in her name and i feel like it’s a way to honor her somehow. She will mostly go by lana. I think i have finally narrowed it down to 2 names for my daughter. I don’t care for [name_u]allison[/name_u] and while i like [name_f]adeline[/name_f] i can see that turning into [name_f]addy[/name_f] whether or not i like it.
The only drawback i can see is that [name]alana [/name] [name]thompson [/name] is reality child star [name]honey [/name] boo boo’s real name so it may be considered “downmarket” for lack of a better term. Can you help me think of some names that could/would easily shorten to [name_f]ally[/name_f]? Other names we like are [name]sierra[/name] (probably the front runner after. My husband and i can’t seem to agree on any names and thus don’t.
