I've heard of the name Trana. Not sure if it is Yiddish or from another language but eventually became a Jewish name.
The other one, no idea. Obviously some sort of nickname but I've never heard of it.

I know a Lakie - is that the same as Lachie?
It’s ‘short’ for Leah.

Trane is a derivation of Tryna, which was the Vilan Gaon's mothers name. I have also heard that it has origins from Katrina.

Trana might be Katrine. Or another name.

No. It's pronounced Tronny with a short " o". Rhymes with Bonnie.

Why do they get to set the tone for a mostly yiddish speaking crowd?

They don't.

It's just that if the person is going to be dealing with anyone who is a native English speaker, they should be prepared to get some odd looks.

My middle name is Gaye, and I've gotten no end of misery from it.
