Most 'correct' spelling of Lilianne?

I'd really like to incorporate the name of my beloved auntie, Leanne. I really like the name Lilianne but there so many variants that I'm struggling to pick just one - there's Lillianne, Liliane, Lilyanne etc.

I'd like to pick the most basic / accepted version of the name. This seems to be Lillian, but I think most people would pronounce this as 'Lily-UN' and not 'Lily-Anne'?

Any ideas on how to come to a decision?! TIA!

I would not pick hyphen myself, but I agree Lily-Anne is best... but personally prefer Lillian.
