I really love the name Anna (pronounced “AN-nuh”), and most variants of names including it. I’ve decided to share a list of names ending with -anna, because I love them so. What are your favorite names ending in -anna, and how do you feel about my list (Btw, every ending of -anna is pronounced “AN-nuh,” not “Aw-nuh”)?Leanna
Deanna
Loranna (“Lor-AN-nuh”)
Savanna (I prefer the Savannah spelling)
Vivianna
Roxanna
Arianna
Kayanna (Or Cayanna)
Jayanna
RayannaAs honorable mentions, I’d also love to include names ending in -ana, that I enjoy (these names are pronounced with an “Aw-nuh” ending”). Feel free to list names ending with -ana, or comment on mine, if you’d like!Alana
Aliana
Ariana (though, I prefer the name Arianna, pronounced “Are-ree-AN-nuh”)
Liana
Tiana
Kayliana
Mariana
Tatiana

I find Anna unnecessarily complicated, and longer than it needs to be. I'm OK with Juliana, but only as a mn; the rest I really don't enjoy, and that includes the -ana names. Marianne, yes; Mariana, no. Louanne, a tentative yes; Louanna, no.

My favorites are Joanna, Osanna, Susanna, and Georgeanna. "-anna" is much friendlier to me than "-ana," which risks sounding cheaply princessy, though I love Dragana and like Svetlana and Tatiana.

I think we have a lot in common when it comes to *-anna' names. I keep forgetting about Leanna, so I'll also add that one to my list. Same goes for Roxanna. Rayanna is interesting. I also prefer the Savannah spelling over Savanna for some reason. Nice lists.Here's mine...*-anna*:
Adrianna
Arianna
Breanna
Deanna / Dianna
Fianna
Inanna
Joanna
Johanna
Julianna
Kianna
Lyanna

Orianna - https://www.behindthename.com/name/orianna/submitted
Revanna - For a planet in one of my all-time favorite TV series "Stargate SG-1".
Rhianna

Dana
Diana
Dragana
Gloriana
Jordana
Sladjana
Snežana
Stana
Svana
Svetlana
Tarana
Tatiana
YanaI do prefer *-anna* over *-ana* most of the time because it looks more complete to me.

Interesting list! One that especially stuck out to me is Revanna; my grandmother is called Rivanna “Rih-VAN-nuh,” so it reminds me of her name. From your list, I especially like Joanna, Tianna, Jordana, and Yana!
