Leanne is ok but I prefer the spelling Lee Anne or Leigh Anne.

---

I really don’t like Leanna. I like Liana or Liane.

---

Lyanna. I’d automatically assume mom and dad were Game of Thrones fans. It’s much better than Daenerys or Cersei though.

Leanne: I like it spelled LeAnn, though I know a lot of people really dislike that. I think it gives it youth and personality. It’s a nice name either way though, regardless of spelling.

---

Leanna is also nice, but I prefer Liana.

---

For Lyanna, see above. :)

---

I would assume Lyanna would be pronounced like Leanna, but Lie-anna makes perfect sense too.

Leanne and Leanna feel helplessly dated, Lyanna feels helplessly modern.

Leanne - boring. It's just Lee + Ann. Name of a gal who babysat me when I was little. Her sister was Lynelle. Very sixties-style boring. So yes, dated.
Leanna - same. Lee Anna. A little less dated seeming, though.
Lyanna - I don't know how it's pronounced. It looks like lie- Anna to me - I don't like it. If it's pronounced as Lee + Anna, the y just seems extraneous to me, a GoT gimmick. If it's pronounced lee-AH-na, I could kinda like it.

---

When I read an -anna name I pronounce it like Ann + a.
I tend to like -ana names more because I like the sound Ahn-a much more.

---

I like Liana (lee-AHN-na) a lot.

Leanne and Leanna are nice, don't like Luanda. I don't find it dated

I like Lyanna

I like it (Leanne) and I'm a little nostalgic for it. As a little kid in the late 90s and early 2000s my dad was a coach for track and cross-country and it felt like a dozen of the girls on the team had it back then *there were probably only like 2 & my child mind inflated it*. Weirdly other than that setting I can't remember other Leanne's I've come across. But I still like the name and don't feel it's dated at all. I wish I could meet a little baby named Leanne. Leanna logistically makes more sense for a comeback as she'd fit in with the other Ana/Anna names. In the US we are still -anne/-ane suffix weary because they were so popular in our parents generation. Lyanna is interesting and I wouldn't put it past people to use it as well.
