I know a Liana with the nn Lia. She pronounces it lee-AHN-uh. It's a very pretty name.

Since grapes are a type of liana vine, I think the meaning "fruitful" would be entirely appropriate.

Always thought Liana was pretty. I grew up with a girl whose name was Lijana (a Serbian spelling of the name) it was pronounced Lee-Ah-nah Or if you are American Lee-Awn-Ah. I also know a Leanna which would be Lee-An-ah. Also Liana Liberato pronounces it Lee-ah-nah.

My name is Liana and I just love it. As weird as it sounds, it had kind of molded me into who I am today. It's a unique name, and has caused me to, I think, become unique. I get compliments on it all the time. Even though people spell it and say it wrong quite frequently.

My friends name is Lianna, and she pronounces it as Lee-ARN-uh. So I guess it depends on personal taste and accent.
