Lian pronounced Le-anne. Do you think the spelling gives it a new lease of life?

No. Because it won’t be pronounced the way you want, and people will think it’s a typo for Liam.

I read it as Lie Ann

I though it was a boys name. Pronounced like Liam. If you like Leanne I wouldn't spell it Liam you'll be forever corrected people and spelling it, not fun. A child certainly wouldn't thank you for it.

Not really, I read it as Liam.
