I was watching one of those ER stories shows and there was a lady they were talking about who was named Lana. It reminded me of the name of the character from the TV Series Smallville (About the early years of Superman / Clark Kent). I think the name is short but still really pretty and exotic in a way. I love the many meanings particularly Calm as Still Waters.
