Jennaiya and 'Lana???

Question

I'm having twin girls in 2 months and I think i know what names i'm gonna use-Jennaiya Susan Craig and 'Lana Kandice Craig. Susan is my mom's name and Kandice is my auntie's name and my middle name. 'Lana is my best friend and i just really like the name Jennaiya. what do you think? Craig is the surname.

Answer 1

I love Jennaiya... it's not a common name.... but I'm honestly not too crazy about the second names.  Maybe Jennaiya Lyn??? How about Leilani Kandice Craig for the your other daughter to be?

Whatever you decide will be great because they are your babies.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Lana Kandice sound beautiful but I'm not so sure about Jennaiya...it sounds pretty made up to me and would probably be really hard to spell/ pronouce in the future. Plus think about how that would look on a college degree?!

Answer 3

Jennaiya is an obviously made up name.  I don't like it.  I'm not even sure how to say it.  Jenn-eye-uh? It doesn't roll off of the tongue nicely at all.  It sounds sort of like the name of a Star Trek alien or something.

I don't get why there is an apostrophe before Lana, either, is it short for something?  

Answer 4

i really like the 'Lana. but how bout A'Lana. i have a friend whos name is A'Lana. im not to fond of Jennaiya. But i do like jenna. hope i helped

Answer 5

personally i don't like lana. but if you like it then go ahead with it. jennaiya sounds a bit made up as well.

Jenna Susan and Alana Kandice.. that way you could still use Lana as a nickname.

Answer 6

I love Jennaiya.  Susan is sort of an old name, I don't really like it, but for a middle name it's good.  Jennaiya Susan sounds nice.

Same with Lana Kandice, although I love the way you spell Kandice.  

They're both very nice names, especially the first names.

Answer 7

Jenna Linea Kandice Craig & Alana or Lana--but no ' in there--Lana Linea Susan Craig.

Answer 8

i like lana but not such a big fan of jennaiya how about just leave it jenna but your the parent so you can name your babies whatever you want.

Answer 9

I like Lana Kandice.How are you pronouncing the other name, Jan-eye-uh or Jan- ay-uh? Jeniya or Jenaya (depending how you want it pronounced) would be less confusing spellings.

Answer 10

I love the name Lana Kandice. Not to hot about the Jennaiya, but not positive I'm pronouncing it right either. But their your kids name them what you want. That's just my opinion.

Answer 11

'Lana's a good name, but how is it pronounced? Maybe you should help readers out by making it an original name. Elana, Alana, Layna, Lanna all are good variants. As for Jennaiya, I think it sounds sort of video game childish, too hard to pronounce and I'm betting the girl might have difficulty in kindergarten attempting to spell her name.  I suggest a name like Jennai, Nai, Naiya, Jayna, Jenaya, or Jaiya.  I do like the middle names.

I like Layna Kandice Craig and Naiya Susan Craig.

Answer 12

What's with the apostrophe before Lana? Leave that off and I think you'll be doing fine there. Jennaiya just sounds made-up. I'm not a fan of made-up names.

Answer 13

I like Lana but why do you need the ' there in front of it?  That usually denotes a space in the word or a contraction or a shortened variation of a name.  Like if it was Malana you would put 'Lana.  I don't know how to pronounce Jennaiya (i think it's jen-i-uh) but I don't really like it that way.  Jenna is pretty though.
