I have come to like the name Christianne, however, I am bit concerned as to how it would be pronounced by most people. I first heard in on CNN, with the reporter Christianne Amanpour. She prounouces it kris- tee- awn, a pronounciation that I like, however it has recently occured to me that people may pronounce it kris- tee- ann. How would you pronounce it on sight?

Kris-tee-ann. I think Kris-tee-AWN sounds pretentious.

I would pronounce it kris-tee-ANN. How about Christiane? In that case, I would pronounce it kris-tee-AWN or kris-TYAWN.

I thought it was Kris-tee-awn, too weird enough. I like it, too.
