Alana combos - which one is best?

I’m changing my name in about two years’ time, and I think I’m set on [name]Alana[/name] as a first name with a more unusual name in the middle. So far I’ve thought of three combos:

[name]Alana[/name] [name]Ceridwen[/name] [name]Elise[/name]
[name]Alana[/name] Merilwen [name]Elise[/name] (though Merilwen is not a legitimate name and I’m usually picky about these things, it has a special meaning to me because it’s the Elvish translation of my original first name)
[name]Alana[/name] [name]Jane[/name] [name]Elspeth[/name]

[name]Elspeth[/name] and [name]Elise[/name] are there because my original middle name is [name]Elizabeth[/name], which I hate, but I like some other versions of the name.

I will most likely be changing my surname; current one starts with F and is one syllable, new one will be a one-syllable bird name.

I actually quite like [name]Alana[/name] Merilwen [name]Elise[/name]. I know Merilwen is not a “real” name, but since it has such special meaning to you and sounds so similar to other “legit” names like [name]Meredith[/name], Merewald, [name]Merilyn[/name], Merlind, [name]Ceridwen[/name], Ebrillwen, Elowen, Moelwen, and others…I tihnk you should go for it! It’s a beautiful translation :slight_smile:
