How would you spell this name..

Alannah
Alana

Or any other spellings?
 
I would spell it Alanna, but neither of your spellings look odd, they are both nice :)
 
I think it depends on how you want it pronounced.
Alannah I read like "Al" in front of Hannah. (Uh-lan-uh) if that makes sense.
Alana I read it like "Al" in front of Ana, (Uh-law-nuh)
so it's kind of like A in land vs A in law.
I hope that makes sense lol I don't think any are wrong though.
 
Two 'n' version looks better I think! (Alanna looks better than Alana I mean)

I agree with this. To me, they're two different names. I much prefer Alana.
 
I've always seen Alanna. Of your choices, I'd go with Alana. Alannah is verging on being more complicated than it needs to be. It's also the only version that my spell check is complaining about ;)
 
To me Alannah is pronounced "Uh-lawn-uh"
And Alana is pronounced "Uh-lay-na"

But that can vary region to region! I don't think either are bad spellings.
I'm not fond of the spelling "Alanna", however.
