We had a class reader at school, written in UK about UK characters, one of whom was an Oriana; we all spoke approximations of UK English and our teacher, who was toweringly incompetent but went on courses, said it was o-ree-AH-na; this seemed convincing and we never thought of anything else. Not saying it's right - just that it seemed so.

or-ee-AH-na. I've met two or three Orianas and they're all pronounced like this.

I would say it just like "Oreo" but with the O changed to AH-na (rhyme Americana).
