Lian

[noodlefairy]

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

Why would you spell a name incorrectly to give it a new lease of life? This is a windup, yes?

If I heard it I would spell it correctly as Leanne and if I saw it I would assume it was a typo or pronounced LEE-UN

Lian - pronounced Lee an

Lianne- pronounced Lee ANN

Made up names and miss spelt ones are really downmarket sorry 😐

No, I read it as Liar. Stick with the tried and tested spelling. I think Leanne is quite dated though tbh.

Don't do the youni8que thing please!

Why do people ruin perfectly good name spellings like this?

No, I'm not keen on Leanne and would pronounce this to rhyme with Liam. It sounds like a boys name.

If you like the name leanne, call them leanne.
My name is an odd spelling of a traditional name, and i struggle with it

Lian just screams that you wanted a leanne but thought youd make it different!

All of these unique spellings seem so desperate to prove something in my opinion. "Eg Her name is Kayleigh but we thought we couldnt possibly name her the same as other people so went for kay-lee, we just "different", yes its pronounced the same, yes its the same, but see when its written its Different!"

I know a Lian, so I automatically said it like that - I don't like the name though.

I am a Leighann....I’ve always hated my name. It’s always felt manly and not elegant and a bit chavvy....Sharon ,Tracy and Leighann in the back of a Ford Fiesta with Dave and Garry!!

Lian is a figure in Chinese mythology, he is a male.

Lianne or Leanne, both are awful, awful names. I have known a few and they were all unpleasant. Liam is also an awful name, as an aside 🤭

I also know a German male Lian

Lee-yun

I'd pronounce that lee-un it's odd. Like Liam bit a bit different.

I would pronounce it ‘lion’

The German I know pronounces it Lee-an

Like others just looks like Liam.

If you like the name Leanne just spell it traditionally. Will be much easier for you but also more importantly for your DD to be

Congratulations!

I really like the name Leanne! But I don’t seem to like many names that are popular right now.

Leanne, Claire, Michelle, Carly, Melanie, Hayley and all similar names of girls I went to school with in the 80s, I like.

Being a 70s child I know a Leanne, Leeanne, Leighanne, Lyanne and a Leanna.

Personally I’m not keen.

I know a classy female Lian, but she's South African

I thought it was Ian with an l on the front.

It looks like lien which is a legal term...
