I like Alaina the best especially with that pronunciation!

I think Alaina or Elaina are the only ones people would not screw up royally on a daily basis. I know a woman whose 17 year old daughter is Alana, but it is supposed to be pronounced Alaina, and she is called Alannah or even Alanis by most people and she hates it. But I know a 25 year old Alaina (spelled that ALAINA) and she doesn't have problems at all like that.
