Briana vs. Brianna

Hi everyone! My husband and I have decided on the name Briana/Brianna for our first daughter! The only problem is, we can’t decide how to spell it. Brianna looks prettier than Briana, but we’re afraid that people will say it bree-Anna instead of bree-ah-nuh, which is the way we’re going to pronounce it. Any thoughts? Thanks!!

I think Brianna looks prettier too, and if people say her name wrong just correct them and they’ll catch on. ;)

What about Bryane or Bryana?
posted by guest :: 16 years ago | report
Briana looks just fine, IMO, and will probably be more likely to be pronounced correctly. Good luck!

To me, Brianna is bree-ANN-a, and Briana is bree-ON-a.

If you choose to spell it Brianna, you, and she, will do a lot of correcting until people know her.

If you are Irish Briana is the feminine of Brian. plain and simple. brian is an Irish name. all other spellings are are abominations.

My name is Briana (Bree-Anna)and my cousin’s name is Brianna (Bree-Onna).
Brianna is supposed to be pronounced "on" instead of "an". I know from college English classes and from personal experience.

My name is Brianna (Bree-On_uh) and people call me Bree-Anna all the time. It's kind of annoying but I just politely correct them :)

My name is Brianna (Bree-ANN-a) and when people call me Bree-ON-a, it's really annoying.

Brianna is meant to be Bree- Ann-na. Briana is meant to be Bree-On-na.
When there is a double N, you pronounce it as Ann not On.
