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.
