Lyanna, Lianna being a close second. Although, I prefer the spelling Liana above all.

I love Leanna, it is my favorite of the lot. So sweet, pretty and playful. One of my favorite of the more "casual -anna extension names". Lyanna reminds me of GOT / ASOIAF, which isn't a bad thing but it is prevalent.

Lianna looks the best. Y's replacing E's make names look weird IMHO.

Whilst Lyanna is my favorite spelling out of the three, I prefer Liana. It's straightforward.

I'm not a fan of Leanna - prefer Leanne and Lianne. Lianna is not bad but seems too ornate.

Lianna

I'd pick Leanna, because I think that it's so beautiful and elegant.

Leanna if necessary, though I prefer Leanne.

I think there'd be a 0% chance of Lyanna being pronounced the same as Leanna where I live (and it's not intuitive for me either), so I don't see the point of that, if I want the Lee sound. But I enjoy the Lie sound more anyway, so I would pick Lyanna, if they are pronounced differently.

Lianna is ok. The pronunciation's slightly ambiguous looking because I want it to be Liana or Lyanna instead, but it doesn't seem counterintuitive. Liana seems a bit more fashionable to me than Leanna & Lianna, but oh well.

Leanna (or Leanne) is a little cliche "country" to me like Leroy (or Lee, in general). It's not a negative necessarily. It's probably my preferred spelling for lee-ANN-uh because it looks like what I expect.

However, my favorite spelling and pronunciation of this name is Liana ("lee-AH-nah").

Leanna seems like the most traditional spelling. I like it the best. I like how light the single E seems.
The name seems a bit boring and dated, but I think respelling it doesn't help with that. It's a nice name regardless.

Lianna seems clashy to me, because Lia spelled Lia is so latiny, and Anna is so English. Sort of the same way I feel about Julianna. Liana (one n and pronounced Lee-Ah-na) seems more appealing than Lianna.

Lyanna looks modernized or like it's from a book (I think it is?), and I'm not sure whether to pronounce it Lie-Anna or ... Luh-Yanna? Lee-Anna does not seem to fit that spelling. I can't think of any name or word that has initial "Ly" pronounced normally as Lee in English. Lysander, Lyra, Lyle, all are "lie," and some words too.

Maybe Lianna because it's the most straight forward, but I think Leanna looks nice too, but I don't like the fact that it looks so much like an elaboration of Leann. Lyanna is okay as well, but I would instinctually pronounce it LIE-a-na

Leanna is ok, don't like the others
