After much back and forth, my husband asked for a list of girl names I liked. I included about 6 and he picked Liana (my second favorite). I'm a little anxious about the name even though I picked it out. Is it too exotic? Will people mispronounce it? AHHH!!! This is such a big decision!
How would you pronounce Liana?
Just call me CC.

Re: Opinions Needed- Liana Pronunciation
2 N's= "ann" sound
I've actually never heard of this name. Not too exotic sounding though.
I read the choices as you've laid them out:
Liana as "lee-ahn-uh" and
Lianna as "lee-ann-uh"
(because of the -anna).
But the name itself is fine, shouldn't be that big of a deal pronunciation wise, but do agree I prefer full versions (Eliana, Juliana, etc) with Liana as the nn.
I agree with that being her nickname though and considering using Juliana or Eliana like PPs said.
