Liana Pronunciation

I always thought [name_f]Liana[/name_f] was pronounced like [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-anna, but someone recently said it rhymes with [name_f]Diana[/name_f] (Lye-anna).

WDYT?

I’ve always pronounced it [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-[name_f]Anna[/name_f] :slight_smile: I’ve never heard it as Lie-[name_f]Anna[/name_f].

I would pronounce [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-ah-nuh. I think it is a cute name, but I prefer [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] (el-ee-ah-nuh). But if someone were to correct me and say [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-[name_f]Anna[/name_f], I wouldn’t be surprised.

Right. [name_f]Liana[/name_f] is neither “[name_u]Lee[/name_u]-anna” nor “Lye-anna” as mentioned in the op. It’s definitely lee-AHN-uh.

^^ I agree

10

[name_u]Lee[/name_u]-ah-nuh

I know an [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] pronounced [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-ah-nuh as well. Could they be getting the names confused?

11

The only [name_f]Liana[/name_f] I knew pronounced her name [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-anna.

12

[name_f]Liana[/name_f] ([name_u]Lee[/name_u]-ah-nah) or [name_f]Lianna[/name_f] ([name_u]Lee[/name_u]-anna). I think both pronunciations and spellings work.

13

I know one [name_f]Liana[/name_f] pronounced [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-ah-nuh

14

I would personally pronounce it lee-ah-nah.

16

I’d say Lie-ah-nuh. Like [name_f]Diana[/name_f] :slight_smile:

17

Yep!

[name_f]Liana[/name_f] = lee + ana

18

I say [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-[name_m]AH[/name_m]-nuh, I think the pronunciation [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-anna makes it sound like a smoosh of [name_u]Lee[/name_u] and [name_f]Anna[/name_f] even though [name_f]Liana[/name_f] is a pretty name with a lovely meaning
