[Opinions] Fairly recent BA

I just found out that one of my relatively distant cousins has a new daughter named Aviana Isabella. At first, I thought that the BA said Ariana, but I took another look and it was Aviana. I'm hoping that it's pronounced ah-vee-AH-na and not ay-vee-AH-na or ay-vee-ANN-a. The ay-vee pronunciations make me think of the word "avian." Aviana in general makes me think of "avian", but ah-vee-AH-na less so. WDYT?

It has a nice sound. I've heard a name like that before. It was spelled Aviayna, but pronounced like ah-vee-AH-na.

Avian influence or no avian influence--I really like Aviana! It's original, without looking too made-up. However, I think Isabella paired with it as a middle name is a bit much.

I know and actress (Amy Adams?) recently named her daughter Aviana, apparently to honor her birthplace - the Italian city Aviano. I always assumed that they pronounced it the Italian way with an ah.
Otherwise I agree with the avian thing.
