DS will only call his sister baby or "waa, waa" when I tell him to say hi to Alaina.

Do you think your son will eventually be able to say Alaina? And is he the only one calling her Lainey? If so, I'm confused as to why you need a spelling if you don't want a NN.

My son had a speech delay as well and called his younger sister Goggin instead of Adrienne. Needless to say, he was the only one who called her that, lol. And in a year or so, he could say Adrienne with no problem.

And coincindentally, Adrienne called him Wah-wah for close to a year (his name is Noah). And another coincidence -- my youngest is named Elena (pronounced eh-LAY-nah). It's such a beautiful name. We don't use a nn for it either.

Right now he may be the only one to call her Lainey, but you know how others pick up on it.

My 11-year-old neice is named Alaina, and she's never been a Lainey, we all call her Laina....

I like the name Alaina best! I don't see why this needs a nickname. If you must use a nickname, then I like Lanie. (The more common spelling.)

Sorry, I guess I should have read your reasoning first. I bet your son will come along with saying it soon. If you like Alaina, then keep using Alaina. I wouldn't change your daughter's name to suit him. He can still call her Lainey.
