We are naming our baby girl Siena (with one "n", after the beautiful town in Tuscany, Italy!) Any ideas for middle names, preferably one-syllable names? Thanks ladies!
I also really like Grace, but we've picked Sienna Rose for our girl name, so I'm biased Rose is the English translation of my MIL's name (Huong) so it's great that it also sounds beautiful with Sienna.
I wanted to go with Siena as well, to make it more authentic Italian, but I was worried about pronunciation issues. Though it seems obvious, I thought that some people might not immediately assume it's the same pronunciation as Sienna. Seeing the posts here have confirmed that suspicion!

GORGEOUS name choice!!!
Thank you! Rose is a beautiful middle name to go with Siena. I also like Grace! SO many choices I wonder why there are pronunciation questions about Siena? Both my husband & I would like to keep this spelling but I just can't figure out why Siena wouldn't be pronounced the same as Sienna...does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
I think some people might think it's supposed to be pronounced "seen-uh." Think of it as Sien a. I don't know why people would think that, I guess just because they have probably never seen that spelling. ??
Re: Middle names for Siena?
