Famous bearer: actress Liana Liberato. Born on August 20th, 1995, in Galveston, Texas, Liana (to this writing) has had roles in such crime dramas as "Cold Case" and "CSI: Miami".
This is my mother's name. I think it is beautiful and elegant, but I don't think she is too fond of it. Whenever she tells people her name is Liana, people call her Liane. Also, for her, it isn't short for anything, this is her actual name. I still like it, though.
I personally think this is a lovely name. My wonderful mother has this name, but she occasionally claims she doesn't like it. Even though it's a nice name, MANY people tend to misspell Liana and pronounce it wrong as well.
