I don't care much for Juliana, being the Julia freak I am. =P I find the -ana unnecessary, much like Liliana, Adriana, Emiliana, etc. I met a Lydiana once, actually. It's quite a trend, and I think Juliana falls into that category. I don't think it's over the top, but a little pretentious, and perhaps a little predictable.

I don't think Cecilia would become too popular. I'm not a Cecilia fan anyway, but I wouldn't worry about it becoming another Ava.

Yeah, I do not what you mean. I really want to honour someone with the name Ana, which is pronounced like Anna. Which is real bothersome, because it should be said "AH-na" but she doesn't. The only exception I can find to the rule is Diana. Do you have any ideas? I guess I could just have Anna and just have done with it, but I'm much more an Anne person. Grr. Why did I have to be a name nerd?

Hm, I see your dilemma. Diana's lovely - I'd give a thumbs up to that. :D Indiana comes to mind too, but I don't know if you're into that, lol. I also recently heard of Zuzana, which I think is really cool, though I don't know the correct pronunciation. How about Jordana? Susana? Rosana? Roxana? Johana might even work, but that'd probably be incorrect, if I had to guess. =/
