Re: Lyanna
I don't like the spelling Lyanna for multiple reasons.Number One Game of Thrones is so popular everyone will immediately associate the two unless they haven't read or watched it.Number Two there are at least 4 ways it could be pronounced and any child named it will probably constantly have their name mispronounced. LIE-an-ə, lee-AN-ə, LIE-ahn-ə, or lee-AHN-ə.Number Three Leanna, Leana, Lianna, Liana, and Lyana are all spelling variants and I prefer some of them so I wouldn't use the spelling Lyanna.If you like the pronunciation LIE-an-ə or LIE-ahn-ə then I would spell it Lyanna or Lyana - I prefer Lyanna. If you are pronouncing it as lee-AN-ə or lee-AHN-ə the spellings Leanna, Leana, Lianna, and Liana are better.My favorite spelling for lee-AN-ə is Lianna or Liana. My favorite spelling for lee-AHN-ə is Liana. I like that Liana is also a plant name.
I actually really like Liana especially since it is a plant name. Liara is a similar name I also really like unfortunately it is connected to a video game so I'd never use it.
------------------Favorite Names:Leona, Fiona, Artemis, Hazel, Luna, Serafina, Adelina, Callisto, Stella, Aurora, Ursa, Augustine, Citrina, Vivian, Dorothea, Eleanor, Iris, Maple.Kieran, Connor, Rowan, Cedar, Arthur, Magnus, Finn, Theron, Xavier, Teagan, Quinn, Cedric, Adrian, Julian, Tristan, Gavin, Gryphon.
