Need Advice On Girl's Name Posted: 10-29-05 09:20am
If you saw the name alenah, how would you
pronounce it.
I'd like it to be pronounced
a-len-ah...Like it sounds. Not with a
long e. But am worried that people not
might pronounce it correctly when they see
it.
What do you think? Do you like the
name?
Thanks for any advice.

My neice's name is alaina. Pronounced
the same way. I love that name and I
like your spelling. I thought (a - lay-
na) when I saw it. I know a girl named
alena (a - leeee - na) and ppl pronounce
it the other way. People will just have
to get used to it and there is always
someone that will probably mis-pronounce
it.
I work with a girl named chanda (shan-duh)
and people call her sandra, shannon,
chandra, etc. No matter how much we
pound it into their heads they still cant
get it right.

I would say aleena, sorry too.
I have the problem with my daughter
raquel, people say rochelle, or rachel.
But that is what people do.
My hubby likes the name charis,
(pronounced care-us) but I am not sure,
maybe another spelling like carys or
karis?? Any thoughts on that one?
