Pronounced like Liam - but Lian???

Just saw it it in a list while I was browsing and I think I like it. Worried it will be mistaken for "Leanne"

What do you think?

It will be mistaken for Liam or Ian at almost every opportunity and it looks feminine, so will get people saying 'Lee-Anne?'

Sorry, I think it's awful.

I'd assume it was a mis-spelling for Liam. Or else a stupid way to spell Leanne.
