[Opinions] uh-LAH-nah...(m)

And since I pronunce the LAH sound with an A as in "brat" (the food, not the spoiled child), it doesn't sound anything like banana (which has an A as in "attic").
I really dislike it when people pronunce it uh-LAY-nah, uh-LAA-nah (with an A as in "attic"), or uh-LAW-nah (with an AW as in "lawn"). I prefer the straight-up AH sound, as in "job."
And I prefer the spelling Alanna, but that's arbitrary.
