I like the pronunication Lee-oh-na, i think it sounds pretty like a spin off of Fiona.

I think Leona is quite pretty, but why the apostrophe? I have an extreme dislike of punctuation used in first names because it is entirely unnecessary. Leona looks so beautiful. Don't ruin it with an apostrophe. It automatically makes the name look hideously kre8tyv.

Do you mean Leona?

If it rhymes with Fiona then it would be Leona (lee-OH-nah), which is much, much nicer than Leonna / Le'onna, IMO. If you are pronouncing it lee-AH-nah, than it would be Liana, which is also much better than Leonna to me.

I certainly am, if . . .

. . . if 'fast' translates to 'bored, procrastinating, and checking the boards ridiculously often' :-D

I think it has a very nice sound. People would probably pronounce it right even without the apostophe.

It also sounds as though it could be related to Eleonor or to the male names Leon and Leonard.
