I love Juliana, but then again i'm bias cause my niece is just so adorable. We pronounce it the same and I think I prefer it over Liliana because there are a LOT of little Lily's running around. But I do suppose there are many Julia's now too. Either way I love them both!Proud Auntie to Robbie, Brady, Juliana, Sophie, Graham, Teresa, and one more on the way.

I'm thrilled you posted this one. The Juliana vs. Liliana debate has been one have still have. (We are at 22 weeks. Going to have a girl.) I like the versitility of Liliana ("Lili" or "Lia" of "Jana" as potential nicknames. It is easy to say for a sibling (we have 3 year old.) However, Juliana is less popular and, to me, seems more classical. Ultimately, we decided not go with either name. However, my husband still likes Lilia (pronounced "Lee-leea") because is unsual and "Lia" as a nn is not as frilly. Good luck and hope that helped.

Well, I like Juliana, but Liliana doesn't really appeal to me. I'd much pick Juliana- but I like Julianne and Julienne even more.

No. Juliana is far more better. It's classic, beautiful and ages well. I *Love* it.

Juliana is very pretty. Yes, I might prefer it over Liliana. It just sounds slightly better for some reason.Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Unfortunately, Juliana and Liliana both come off to me as the epitome of nouveau-yuppie scum. I don't like either name at all.ArrayETA: What's odd is that I really like both Julianne (well, more Julanne) and Lilianne (pronunced as a combination of Lily and Anne, rather than soundalike to Lilian). I think it's the "ana" part that gives them the inherent snobbiness to me.

I love both the names Juliana and Liliana. I also pronounce Juliana as "Julie-ahna". I slightly prefer the name Juliana over Liliana for two different reasons. The first reason is because my rabbit is named Giuliana (I chose the Italian and Spanish spelling.) and while I was dating my ex we talked about marriage and names of future children. We had Liliana chosen for a girl's name.
