wdyt vs. Gianna

My husband and I would love to name our first little girl Gianna, but recently we’ve been told by my in-laws that people will mispronounce it, and that they’ll pronounce it gee-Anna, not gee-ah-nuh. What do you think? Is it an okay name? Also, we were planning on using Taylor for the middle name . . . which they’ve said is too masculine. Again, opinions?? Thanks!

Also Giana Taylor is gorgeous, Taylor isn’t too masculine don’t let them convince you of that, Idk them but they sound like the kind of in-laws who want to be the one who names your baby & not you, but I could be wrong & Im sorry for my accusation if I am.

People won’t mispronouce it. There is a little girl in my son’s class named Gianna and everyone pronounces it gee on ah. I used to work with a woman and her name was Gianna and she pronounced it differently like john ah, (the Italian way?) and most people messed that up. What I’m trying to say is, you are pronouncing it the way the majority of the people do, so you won’t have a problem. I know a Tara and she pronouces her name tar ah and my son used to preschool with a Joel and his parents pronounced his name jo elle. Those get mispronounced all the time because the aren’t the typical pronunciations. Gianna is pretty btw, plus it getting more popular which mean more people know how to pronounce it.

people will definitely pronounce it gee-Anna.

however the people who are close will eventually learn.

Gianna Taylor is beautiful.

Gianna is ok, I think you’ll get some mispronunciations but not a ton. I also like the name Gianne (gee-anne) but that probably isn’t as flowery as you like. I agree with the in-laws that Taylor is too masculine, and it is really trendy too IMO. GL!!
