[Opinions] Alanis / Alannis
WDYTO Alanis / Alannis? Which spelling do you prefer? Why?Alanis or Alana?Any other comments?Oh, also have you ever heard of or known an Alanis that isn't Alanis Morissette.
Whoa, I can answer one of my own questions. I've met a little girl with this name, spelled Alannas. Or was it Alanas? Ugh, I need sleep.
Ok, I think it's time to hit the hay.
Cheers :D

I like it. Used to be one of my faves when I was younger. I prefer the spelling Alanis, not sure if that's cos it's how I'm used to seeing it spelt. I guess also because Alan only has one n...
Never known one apart from Morissette. But would be good to have some more around! Having said that, I would personally be more likely to use Alana

No, I haven't heard of an Alanis besides Alanis Morissette, and I think that's the only thing that puts me off it. Sound-wise it's adorable. A bit like 'Atlantis' :-)To avoid association with her*, and just because it looks more symmetrical and sensible, I prefer Alannis.*Not that I have anything against her - her music just isn't my style.

I prefer Alannis, just to avoid the Alanis Morisette similarity, but I think both spellings are nice. I like Alana too, but I think I prefer Alanis to it as well.
I've known several Alanas and Alannahs, but no Alanis'
