I actually like it. I'd pronounce it ''Djan-ah'' in English.
Where I live, it has some use among Afrikaans speakers: sounds like YAHnah, and probably originated as a nn for Johanna. I don't find it at all attractive.
This name of four letters creates three pronunciations: "JAY-na", "JAN-a" and "YA-na". Oh wait, according to BtN, there's a fourth Catalan version which is "ZHA-na". I honestly don't know if I like the name enough for all the trouble.
I don’t mind it if it rhymes with Dana (JAY-nuh).
Don't really like it
pronounced like ya-na, I like it, but jan-a, no.
