I've come across the name few times and it has grown on me. Using it for a Character in a "Christian Romance" (FN: Liana Lockwood) but I am currently torn between 2 spellings:
Liana looks very compact & reassuring.
Lianna feels more frilly & natural.

I don't like the way Leanna looks, though.

Thoughts? Middle name opinions are also welcome.

Liana & Lianna.

I've known a few Lianas, always pronounced lee-AH-na and one Lianna, pronounced lee-ANN-a so it depends how you're wanting readers to pronounce it. I don't love either name but they're nice enough. To me, Liana comes more naturally whereas Lianna seems like the varient that people will struggle to remember / pronounce.

Whoa! What a list.

Taking my favourites:

Liana Theresa would have been nice but the Liana in my story has a younger sister named Tessa, short for Theresa Lockwood.
