I don't know...As I said, I don't know how to pronounce it exactly, but looking at the pronounciation key for Sian, it's SHAH:N... http://www.behindthename.com/pronunciation.phpNote the astrisks on AH and AW and the ":" --- add an "a" at the end (like Shauna) and how do you not get a possible pronounciation that is the exact same as Shauna?

No, the accent means that it's a long and open aah sound, not an aw sound. There's a huge difference.And the -noa part comes from Noa, Noah so it's NO-a.It's Sian + Noah, not Sian + Na.
