This is one of my guilty pleasure names. I pronounce it bree-AH-na. It was used in a poem called "The Fairie Queene" (published 1590-1596). While Brianna is really trendy Briana always seemed a very classic and beautiful name to me. I really dislike it pronounced bree-AN-ah or brie-AN-ah, though I only like bree-AH-na.
