I just finished rereading a series from my childhood, called The Chronicles of Prydain. In it is a giant cat called Lyanna. It feels very feline!
I would naturally pronounce it lee-ANN-a but wouldn't bat an eyelid if someone said it was ly-ANN-a. I think it is rising quickly because of the fashionable sounds and the Game of Thrones character.
I do find Leanne a bit dull, it feels very 1980s/1990s.
