after much debate we named our second daughter alana gray. we chose alana because neither of us new any alanas, and wasnt very popular. we spelled it the simplest way we could think of. our other daughters name is autumn and thought they went well together. her middle name is a combo of my parents names and i thought the two names worked well together alana gray. i am glad we chose it!
