Queen Juliana of the Netherlands is the most famous bearer of this name in my country (the Netherlands). She was named after Juliana van Stolberg.

Another famous bearer is Juliana Guillermo, the daughter of Princess Christina. Her grandmother was Juliana, queen of the Netherlands. Her family calls her: 'Julie'.

I like the name Ana. Where I live it is not one of the most frequent names. Most people, in fact, don't know that there's a saint and a day for this very name. The date is 3rd January.
A very pretty name for a girl, a great alternative to Julia.

I think that it sounds fine with either pronunciation. I have only known two "Juliana"s in my life, and they are both beautiful, intelligent, kind-hearted girls. I'm probably going to give this name to a daughter if I have one.

This is a lovely name for a girl! Great alternative to the overused Julia and Julie.

I much prefer this name to Julia. It is stronger and has more character, I think.
Princess Alexia Juliana is the second child of the Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and his wife, Crown Princess Maxima. She is currently third in line to the throne of the Netherlands.
My name is Juliana, and I pronounce it "Joo-lee-ANNE-ah" intead of "Joo-lee-ah-na". Everyone always comes up to me and tells me what a gorgeous name I have.

I know a little girl named Juliana, and I think it's a sweet name. There could be some trouble with the pronunciation of it though, I've heard many people saying juli-anna, but I think it sounds much better juli-ah-na.
I prefer the pronunciation Julie-Anne-Ah. Ever since I heard it in "Quest for Camelot" I have always loved the name. It is more mature than Julia and Julie which are overused and when I hear Julie or Julia the first thing that pops into my head is: "that's all?". I think Juliana completes the name.
