Other little kids might still miss pronounce it and teachers will probably guess at how to say it, but that's how I would say it
@ lewiesbump Alan is one of the reasons i liked this name because its similar in spanish also:)
@Gkatzy Yes ell-ee-on (Elián) is what its pronounced like.
Thanks ladies :)
I read it as Ell-ee-on. I'm from the US.
I live in the uk and there is an English name of Alan, I assume this is what you mean because I've never heard of alian..
I'm not sure how to pronounce elian but don't think it would be the same...
