Aliana Lyna' - what do you think?

Kimmie LovesEric · March 2009

Pronounced Ali-awwwna Lyn-a.....I made the name up consisting of my fathers name, Allie a nickname his siblings have called him since birth and my middle name, ann. In other dialects it's pronounced awwna. Lyn after my bf the A to make it flow......Be honest. THanks for your help. I wouldn't want Aliana to get made fun of later....

I think it sounds like a fine name. One thing I've always wondered though, what is the apostrophe at the end of the middle name for? I know someone else who did this - does it have some kind of significance or change the pronunciation in any way?

I'mAcrossThePond · March 2009

Poor child will always have to explain how her name is pronounced.

Aliauna will at least get it pronounced correctly...but it still sounds made up.

RoxyLynn · March 2009

Well. Yes, it certainly is made up.

anna7602 · March 2009

I'm not a fan of the pronunciation, it seems difficult. Do you really mean awww or is that the only way you could spell a different sound you have in your head? My name is Anna and I've never, ever heard someone call me "awwwna."

EXL311 · March 2009

So it would be pronounced the same as Juliana but Ali at the beginning instead right? I think that's a beautiful name. Not too fond of Lyna though, especially not with the random apostrophe.

I think she means the sound Ah-na unless I'm completely off base. Just like Anna Faris.

I don't like made up names. This is an example.?

Mipper · March 2009

I think Aliana is fine but I don't like Lyna with it. How about just Lyn?

Temp950106187509203 · March 2009

Far too yooneek/kre8tiv for my taste. Also, it seems like a lot of the same sounds, which makes for a bit of a tongue-twister.

Actually, Aliana is 896 on the SSA website for babies born in 2007.

It is also Lindsay Lohan's younger sister's name. All I did was google it.

Aliana if you pronounce it Ali-anna would be just fine. But by wanting that awwna sound, you are setting her up for a lifetime of it being pronounced wrong. Not to mention I honestly think it is prettier pronounced 'anna'.

Aliana Lyn or Aliana Lynn is FAR nicer than Lyna. The random A doesn't make it flow at all. It fact, it makes it not flow.

Or, just name her Lianna or Lianne. You still are combining yours and your father's names.

I don't agree with pronouncing it Ali-anna, especially because it only has one n. What about Juliana and Lilliana? Those can be pronounced ah-na.

Southern-Yankee · March 2009

I like Aliana but don't like Lyna at all. Aliana is nice by itself but once you pair it up with Lyna it sounds really bad together. Maybe a simpler mn like Marie or Grace?

JoyGotDots · March 2009

It took me a long time to realize the name you wrote was not Alaina. I think she'll get Uh-lay-na more than she'll get Ali-anna. I doubt she'd get Ah-lee-ah-na very often.

Usually it's to show that the last letter should have an accent over it. I'm guess OP is planning on spelling the name Lyn?.

cjilla · March 2009

WHOA! Too much like a tongue twister. Can you make at least one of the names a "real" name? As pp's said, maybe Lynn?

jennings235 · March 2009

I would spell Aliana differently if you are going to pronounce it like that. What about Alana?

I dont like the combination of the 2 names, they are too similar for me.

Agreed! And I also completely agree with the pp that said that, by adding the a in Lyna, you actually made it not flow.

Skipperg82 · March 2009

NMS - Sounds like you are trying to make it rhyme with the supermodel Adriana Lima....(at least thats how it sounds in my head)!

Denae'sTTC · March 2009

My sisters bf name is Aliana.. She needs to explian to everyone its prounced Olliana and not Allie-ana.. we call her Ali (ollie).. she works as cocktail waitress sometiems and he name tag is Ollie so people dont mess it up..She is also from Hawaii and he sisters name ia Katiana (cat-ti-ana) they are both super pretty

bruin · March 2009

I think Aliana is a really pretty name. I would probably think of a different mn though.

Mrs.Carlybella · March 2009

in my opinion aliana is not a bad name- but the pronunciation alli-awwwna is, it should be alli-on-a

i also don't like aliana lyna together- i think aliana lynn would be fine

thenewmrsrussell · March 2009

I like Aliana.

Not sure on the middle name

Nakale · March 2009

LOVE it!! My aunt is naming her new baby girl Aliana and I helped her pick:) Lyna is also pretty. It's a beautiful name and I also love the meaning you have in it.

Nakale · March 2009

Btw, of course this name is made up...all names are made up at some point or another. It gets so irritating to me reading comments about 'made up' names.

Kimmie LovesEric · March 2009

Thank you so much! I totally agree with you and was just telling my husband that! All names come from somewhere.I appreciate all comments as long as they are intelligent.

Kimmie LovesEric · March 2009

What's the difference? You spelled the same thing two different ways. Thanks for your opinion.

Kimmie LovesEric · March 2009

We will call her Alli.

Kimmie LovesEric · March 2009

All names are made up, smart.

Kimmie LovesEric · March 2009

Different Dialect.

Kimmie LovesEric · March 2009

Exactly the same as Juliana. But Ali-ana.....thanks, now I have something to compare it to.

Kimmie LovesEric · March 2009

You are correct! Except I have no idea who that is!

skoorbnibor · March 2009

aliana is nice, if it rhymes with Juliana... but Lyna? For the love of pete, give that up.. What is wrong with Lyn? If you love the A at the end, how about Luna? Cause Lyna sounds silly
