Maybe you should concider spelling it differently as your pronounciation will probably result in the name being misspelt as Liona or Leona.

My nephew's fiancee
is named Liana.A pretty name, but I have found it mysteriously difficult to remember.

I adore Liana, pronounced lee-AH-nah. LEE-on-ah sounds very strange to my ears.

Your pronunciation strikes me as counterintuitive and difficult to say.
As lee-AH-nah, it doesn't do a great deal for me, but it's not terrible. I used to like it pretty well, but it blends in so thoroughly with bland Liliana and Juliana that I've gone off it. As LEE-on-uh...well, my mouth refuses to pronounce it that way, even when I try to. I don't dig.

Agree with all.

It's pronounced lee-A-nah . You can look it up in the dictionary. ;) It's my top choice for a girl.

I posted my pronunciation, not the official one.

You weren't clear about that. It's up to you, but you'll have to correct everyone with that pronunciation.

that's how I pronunciated it before I even read it.

I don't know anyone that's ever heard of the name, so I don't worry about it.

Well, it is a word in the English language too, not just a name...

Liana is very pretty. I would probably pronounce it Lee-Anna. It's a bit unusual without being weird or difficult.

Thank you! I totally agree with the weird and difficult part. So many names on this site I can't even pronounce, and if I understand it's pronunciation it sounds terrible and doesn't flow making it hard to say.
