This site says that Sanna is possibly short form of Susanna. So I think that you pronounce Sanna like you pronounce 'sanna' in Susanna. In English that is San-ah (if I'm right)
In Dutch (I am Dutch) you say suy-sah-na, so that makes Sah-nah.

Not entirely! In English (unlike Dutch) the second s in Susannah, and Susan, makes a z sound. But if you make it a sss instead, then it'll work very well with your method. SSSAN-ah for me, SSSUN-uh I think for our American friends.
