My name is Rhianna, the a pronounced a as in bat. Sometimes people pronounce the a as in aunt. I've been called Rhiannon, Rhian, Brianna, Rihanna, and Anna with the a pronounced both ways for each one. I don't really care how people say my name, I respond to anything that has some vague similarity anyways. And yes, the singer's name is pronounced Ree-ha-na where as my name is pronounced Rhee-an-a. Like Anna only with a Re at the beginning. I have had many compliments for my name and have never once been bullied for it. Hope this helped.

I personally don't think that Rhianna is a good name.
I named my daughter Rhiana in 1997, before Rhianna became known of in the music industry. It's a pretty name that I'd never heard of before I named my girl it. Now it's popular because it's a great name. Rhiann sounds French which is so cool and is also more mature sounding for when the day/age comes when she wants to sound more so.
My Sister is called Rhianna. She really likes her name, the only problems are that it's often misspelled, she's often called Rhiannon and you can't find it on any merchandise. Overall I think Rhianna is a very pretty name. It is uncommon enough that she will probably be the only one in her class at school, but not weird.
Rhianna is a modern (shortened) English version of the Welsh name Rhiannon. According to Welsh speakers who have contributed information about this name, it is pronounced hree-ANN-a. It's a beautiful name.
I have a friend called Rhianna, spelled, however, "Reauna." My good friend Reauna's spelling takes the edge off of "Rhianna" and is easier to pronounce. Nonetheless, this is a pretty name, regardless of how it is spelled or pronounced.
I like this name, though I prefer the spelling Rihanna (after the singer). It sounds prettier than Rhiannon and certainly better than naming a girl Ryan.
I love this name for a little girl. I like how it derived from the name Rhiannon. I really love mythological type names. Rhianna sounds so pretty when said out loud.
I have a friend named Rhianna. Her name is very unique, because I haven't met another Rhianna in our school! However, in our grade there is an Alana (me), Deanna, Bryanna and Rhianna. Bryanna and Rhianna sound VERY similar when a teacher is calling out a name. Rhianna has gone up many times to receive a paper that's actually mine, or Deanna's too. xD
This is my friend's name. She likes it, but it gets mispronounced a lot (ree-AHN-a. she says it ree-ANNA) but she's the only Rhianna in the school. I guess that her parents named her somewhat after a song 'Rhiannon'.
