With one “n” I want to say [name_u]Juli[/name_u]-ah na and with the double I want to say -[name_f]Anna[/name_f] with a short “a”. So for me it depends on pronunciation.

Definitely depends on pronunciation. I like [name_f]Juliana[/name_f] pronounced [name_u]Juli[/name_u]-ah-na, but if I saw [name_f]Julianna[/name_f], I’d think [name_u]Juli[/name_u]-an-nuh

I agree with this.

I also agree with the above. I prefer [name_f]Juliana[/name_f], Ju-lee-[name_m]AH[/name_m]-nuh, and knew a lovely one.

[name_f]Juliana[/name_f], for sure. I also prefer the pronunciation ju-lee-[name_m]AH[/name_m]-na.

I think [name_f]Juliana[/name_f] is a more internationally accepted spelling. At least, where I live, in a Spanish speaking country, we spell it [name_f]Juliana[/name_f] (pronounce it differently, of course).

I prefer [name_f]Juliana[/name_f], in addition to having a simplistic, sleeker look, the double nn’s changes the pronunciation for many people.

For me:
[name_f]Juliana[/name_f] = julie Awnah
[name_f]Julianna[/name_f] = [name_u]Julie[/name_u] [name_f]Anna[/name_f]

I prefer [name_f]Juliana[/name_f].

I also think the 2 are pronounced differently. I slightly prefer [name_f]Juliana[/name_f].
