If you like the “uh” pronunciation the best, i would choose alaina. I like [name]elena [/name] and [name]alina [/name]. 名 [空格]中间名 [空格]姓first name (given name) 也就是中国人说的名+ middle name+ family name (中国人说的姓) 例:
爱丽娜; [人名] 阿林娜。 含义:爱丽娜,古德语,『高贵』的意思。高贵、伟大而聪慧的 alina reyes shot to fame a few years ago with her extraordinary first novel 阿林娜·雷耶斯几年. 英文名叫 aileen,alina 还是 elena 好? [name]even [/name] though they sound so similar, they give off completely different images to me.
Alain is the french version of the male name alan so this spelling is better to me than the phonetic.
