I voted no only b/c I don't like it as a given name. I think it's very sweet as a nickname, though. I'd just like to see the given name be something a little less cutesy -- maybe Lana or Leilani? Or you could use the full name Delaney or Elena/Alaina and call her Laney.
Like the pp, I like it fine as nn. As a given name, it feels too unsubstantial, especially with the 'i' ending. With a more formal fn, like Alana, Lana, Lane, or Delaney, I think it makes a cute nn.

Are you pronouncing it Lane-ee or Lawn-ee?
