Personal experiences with the name Lana

Lana is a beautiful feminine name that is very uncommon in the Eastern places in the US.

I love the name Lana. I even named my daughter Lana. That said I noticed something when she was 3 months old.

Ouch! A beautiful name might be ruined by an unfortunate anagram. My friend is named Lana, but pronounced LAN-ah, like Anna.

My name is Lana (Lawn-uh) but when I was in Elementry school other kids (boys) always would make fun of me and call me "LAN-AH" which was becoming annoying considering that I had told them it was Lana. Now I'm 14 and the bullying just got worst cause now they've discovered what it says when it's spelled backwards.
