I’m laughing because I thought I had come up with an original name but obviously not! š¤£ I saw the name Aloni and wanted to spice it up and came up with Elani for my 2 yr old.

My name is Ebony Lane and I thought I made up the name Elani from the first letter of my first name and my last name. But my that spells Elane. So I threw the I on the end to make sure it is pronounced correctly.
