Gianna

This was never favorite, but I like it now because of Gianna Bryant. I prefer the Italian pronunciation.

Very pretty!

This is a cute name, I love this name so much, along with Gigi.

My four year old cousin is named this. She's energetic and very smart, very teachers pet like, very curious. She's my favorite cousin so I've ended up liking this name so much because it reminds me of her :)
It's slightly odd because I'm 20 years older than Gigi, and just had my son, Sam. She's been a very caring friend to him, even if she's basically like his auntie (and shes only 4 years older!)

My name is Gianna. I honestly don't really like my name. It's weird, and I dunno anyone else named it.

My 1 month old niece is named Gianna. I picked it out. I’ve always thought it was so beautiful.

Surprised it’s popular, I haven’t met one. There had to have been some pop culture reference I haven’t heard. It seems so Italian. I’m Catholic so I’ve heard of the saint Gianna Beretta Molla but I don’t think everyone else has. It’s cool but better as an Italian name.

Did a celebrity name their daughter this because I'm confused about where the big spike in popularity came from. It's a fine name regardless.

I love this name, I know an Italian girl who says it as "John-na" and I freaking love it. Love the nickname Gigi as well.

My name is Gianna and I absolutely LOVE it. I get called G or GG a lot and for some reason some people call me Giovanna. LOL.

Gianna is one of my favorite names for a girl! I like names ending in -anna!

I very much like Gianna. But since there are a lot of nations using Gianna or something very similar to it, it ruins it. Though the name is strange but actually beautiful.

Possibly the feminization of masculine Giannis.

This must be a really good name for it to rise 67 spots in one year, also I think this name is ok.

So beautiful and tender. I think of a "teacher's pet" type of girl when I hear this name.

I'm really happy that this name is getting some recognition because it's very beautiful and charming. Legions ahead of some of the other filler anna names.

Very girly and pretty name.

Gorgeous.

Idk... what's nice about Jee-ahn-uh, which is how everyone's going to say it in the US?

I love Gianna nicknamed Gigi.

I love this name, I think it's a perfect name for a baby girl and I love how it has all these different meanings.

Pretty.

People call me Gia or Gina. Sometimes Giovanni! I also get called G a lot. Gianna is a beautiful name, I like it a lot.

My name is Gianna and I get called lots of different names. Some of them I don’t like, like Gina (G-na) or like Ginna (G- i- na). Sometimes people make fun of my name. People even get jealous cause I’m Italian and I have an Italian name, so yeah. Gianna is one of the most amazing names ever! I also get called G A LOT!

My name is Gianna and people call me a ton of different things (because I honestly don’t care). A lot of my friends call me “G”, guys often try and call me Gia. The girls on my dance team call me Anna. My parents and siblings call me “G” or Gianna. A lot of people assume I have Italian heritage (my parents both are from Berlin) and I’ve been told that my name and the nickname Gia are very beautiful names.

My cousin’s eldest is named Gianna. I love it.

I don’t like “Gianna” much but I know somebody who spells it “Jyana” and I like that better. It’s really pronounced “jee-awn-Uh” but none of the teachers could say it so now everyone just calls her “John-uh”, spelled “Jana.”.

I have the name Giana. I am Italian and Irish, more Irish than anything. People call me Anna, Gia, GiGi, and Gg! It is a very beautiful name to me and I will always love it.

I strongly prefer Giovanna, which sounds much stronger and more beautiful to me. Gianna is nice too, but the English pronunciation sounds a bit too much like Briana for me, a name that I don't really like. I rather dislike the Italian pronunciation of JAH-na as well, because then it sounds too much like John, another name I don't like.

Yes I am Irish, but my wife is Sicilian. The name Gianna is a beautiful Italian name, after Saint Gianna Molli. If you are Italian, you respect it, those who disrespect this name or say its 'Jersey Shore' are basically morons, and do not have Italian blood. Well unless they are Italian Putanas. It is not a spoiled name, and if you are Catholic, realize the holiness of this Saint's name. So leave my daughter's name out of your moronic mouth! Gee- Ah- Na, is the proper pronunciation. People get confused because it is a derivative of John, but is not pronounced properly as John-na.

This is my niece's name, Gianna Esther. I am not fond of it, it's too generic for my tastes. Plus my cousin's daughter has a name very similar to it. And it gets confusing.

This name screams Jersey Shore. I don't like it.

I really don't like this name. It sounds like a stripper name.

I like this name a lot. It seems like another version of Anna and I prefer Gianna over plain Anna. To me, Anna is getting, or should I say has gotten boring, haha! That's why the "Gi" adds some spice to Anna, yes.

Words can't describe how much I hate this trashy name. It sounds like the name of a spoiled Italian-American princess who's parents buy her the latest Coach bag and designer sunglasses. I despise this name and all of the people I've met with it. It's not pretty at all either.

I've only ever heard it pronounced 'GEE-YAWN-UH' in a heavy Philly accent though, 'JOHN-A' sounds nicer and more authentically Italian. I don't mind the name Gian at all. So if you must use this name, go with that pronunciation.

I have been pronouncing this for ages as GEE-AH-NA, but I think JAHN-A and JOHN-A are a lot nicer. Nicknames could be Gigi, Anna, Nanna etc.

I love this name, but where I live, so many little girls have this name that anywhere you go, you'll be bound to run into at least three.

Gianna is a really gorgeous name. I pronounce it, as do most people as JAHN-na. But at first I DID pronounce it as GIAHNNA.
This would be a nice and logical decision to name my first baby girl because my name is Laura and Laura was actually the second daughter of Saint Gianna. Plus I love the name. When I was 6-11, my favorite girl's name was Anna and Gianna makes it even more modern, more unique yet still popular enough not to be labeled as out there. Lovely name, good job parents if you named your little girl Gianna or if you are going to for sure!

I'm surprised at how popular the name is now. When my parents named me in the 70s it was unheard of in the US. I didn't like it at first because it was so different, but I've grown to like it. I get compliments all the time. The way people mispronounce it here can be annoying, but I'm used it by now so I just correct them.

This is the nickname I will be using when I start college in the fall. I like how it has a sort of "pop" (best word I could think of) to it. It's best when it is two syllables because it makes Gianna a real name and not something you made up while going through the alphabet to find another -anna name.

I don't really care for the Jee-AHN-ah pronunciation, but as long as it's not pronounced Jee-AN-ah it's okay with me.

I used to like this name, but it lost its Italian flavor. I like the REAL pronunciation JOHN-ah, but today everyone promounces it Jee-AHN-ah (ew!)

I personally like the Jahn-ah pronuciation of Gianna. I think it's the correct way to say it.

I don't like this name, but I'd have to say my favorite pronunciation is JEE - AW - NUH. I think some parent liked the name `Anna` and added a `GI` in front of it. Sorry, but that's my opinion.

I hate this name. It seems like all new parents living in the mid-Atlantic states in the US name their daughter Gianna. It sounds like someone is whining when they say it.

Beautiful. I love it.

I like the name. It is very pretty, but only for someone who is very Italian!

This name seems a little too old fashioned to me.

A little girl I babysit's name is Gianna and I think it is really cute! Also, her family pronounces it gee-AH-nah.
