[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries! I’ve been slowly getting back into liking names again. And I’d like to ask, which do you prefer; [name_f]Lena[/name_f] or [name_f]Lana[/name_f], as full names. Bc I like [name_f]Lena[/name_f] written down more but I like the sound of [name_f]Lana[/name_f] more. And also any middle name suggestions for [name_f]Lena[/name_f] or [name_f]Lana[/name_f] would be appreciated! TIA!

If you prefer the sound of [name_f]Lana[/name_f] more thats what I would go with. As you will be saying it and hearing it much more than seeing it or writing it.

Definitely [name_f]Lana[/name_f], it feels very elegant and fun. If you prefer the sound of [name_f]Lana[/name_f] definitely go with that, seeing your name and hearing it are two very different things and liking the sound is, at least to me, way more important.

I remember watching a show and this girl got teased because of what [name_f]Lana[/name_f] spelt backwards.
Perhaps [name_f]Alanah[/name_f] or [name_f]Lanah[/name_f] would help with that issue.
Personally, I prefer [name_f]Leena[/name_f] (with that spelling.)

@somemelodioussonnet tysm for the suggestions! I especially like [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Bette[/name_f] and [name_f]Lana[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]!
@Youssarian thank you for the amazing combos! I really like [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Lana[/name_f] [name_f]Maris[/name_f] and [name_f]Lana[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f]

@LibelluleClaire that’s true! But I think I’m just hesitant bc of the spelling backwards, so I’m sort of leaning towards [name_f]Lena[/name_f]. [name_m]Ty[/name_m]!
@leafygreens true!
@Greyblue I technically say both depending on the person, but I think I prefer Lay-na over the others. And I absolutely adore; [name_f]Lana[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Lana[/name_f] [name_f]Celine[/name_f], and [name_f]Lana[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]. [name_m]Ty[/name_m]!
@RedWolf yep, that’s also why I’m a bit hesitant on putting on my list. And [name_f]Alanah[/name_f] is really pretty. [name_m]Ty[/name_m]!
@tori101 I love the little description you gave of [name_f]Lena[/name_f], ty! I really like [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], [name_f]Lana[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Lana[/name_f] [name_f]Delphi[/name_f].

@aaronburrsir yep! That’s mostly how I automatically pronounce it (but sometimes I go back n forth). I really like [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], and [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]. [name_m]Ty[/name_m]!

I’m curious about pronunciation.
I like [name_f]Lana[/name_f] (Layna) more than (Lanna) or (Lahna).
I prefer [name_f]Lena[/name_f] as a given name because there is no confusion. If you like the sound of [name_f]Lana[/name_f] more (whatever pro. you’re using), that needs to go a long way with your decision.
The [name_f]Lena[/name_f] is know is fourteen and her mn is [name_f]Suzanne[/name_f].

[name_m]Just[/name_m] looking at your first name suggestion and wondering if you follow Solid Starts??
But I agree, [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Bette[/name_f] is a good combo
I don’t know Solid Starts. What is it?
I think [name_f]Lena[/name_f] is prettier and more classic. [name_f]Lana[/name_f] looks kind of out of date and 1960s-70s to me

[name_f]My[/name_f] mom is [name_f]Lena[/name_f] and one of my close friends is [name_f]Lana[/name_f] haha!
I automatically assume [name_f]Lena[/name_f] being pronounced as LEH-nuh, but this is because it’s a common nickname for [name_f]Elena[/name_f] here where I live. [name_u]Lee[/name_u]- and lay- pronunciations are also nice. However, I slightly prefer [name_f]Lana[/name_f], for me it has more spunky and cheerful.

Lena all the way for me! I love it so much! You could pronounce it three ways, LEE-NAH or LEH-NAH or LAY-NAH. You could, at a stretch, make it LAH-NAH.
I also feel that Lana had an unfortunate backwards spelling.

I’m not familiar with it, but I fully admit that [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Bette[/name_f] was a suggestion I made because my parents’ neighbor named her daughter that. I loved it when I heard it. I’m not friends with the neighbor, so I don’t know, but maybe it’s the same lady!
