Ciana would be my guess if I heard it aloud.

Seafog · 08/11/2020 00:21

Is it pronounced key anna. Or see anna?

kmkkkkkk · 08/11/2020 00:23

@Seafog key Anna

Kiana

DramaAlpaca · 08/11/2020 00:24

I think Kianna looks the nicest. It's unfussy, pretty and fairly obvious how to pronounce it.

ShellsAndSunrises · 08/11/2020 00:26

I’d have said Kiana, too.

Tavannach · 08/11/2020 00:27

I knew a Quianna - it's pronounced the same way.

MindatWork · 08/11/2020 00:31

Anything with a double n many people will pronounce as ‘Anna’ rather than ‘ahna’ ( like the name ‘Hannah’)

I’d go for Kiana

TartanDMs · 08/11/2020 00:31

I think Kiana, if you are going for the 'ah' sound.

HunkyPunk · 08/11/2020 00:34

I think with any of the 'nn' options, people are going to think it's pronounced Key-Anna. If you're going to pronounce it Key-Ahna, then I would go for Kiana or Keana.

MonsterRehab23 · 08/11/2020 00:34

Kiana or Qiana

StellaGib · 08/11/2020 00:37

I think Kiana.

helloxhristmas · 08/11/2020 01:04

It's a made you name so go for what you want

supersonicginandtonic · 08/11/2020 01:10

It's not made up. It's an American name which means living with grace. I've worked with two in the past.

knackersknockersknickers · 08/11/2020 01:18

Of your options 5 - anything with double nn I'd pronounce anna

Kiana is pretty and phonetically right I think.

lockedownloretta · 08/11/2020 01:20

c-h-a-r-l-o-t-t-e

StellaGib · 08/11/2020 10:07

All names are “made up” they don’t grow on trees Confused

ontheslide · 08/11/2020 10:08

The one I know is Kiana.

Scarby9 · 08/11/2020 10:11

Are you in America, OP?
Frozen taught me that what I would pronounce as Anna (two short As) can be pronounced more as 'Arna' or 'Orna'.
I would spell it Kianna.

CaptainCaveMum · 08/11/2020 10:12

Keana

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 08/11/2020 10:16

If you live in the UK and prefer the pronunciation kee-ahna then Kiana.

Chilldonaldchill · 08/11/2020 10:25

Kiana if you want it pronounced with the -ahna ending.
Kianna if you're happy with an Anna ending.

(Frozen Anna wasn't an American pronunciation. It was supposed to be Scandinavian).

Scarby9 · 08/11/2020 10:27

@Chilldonaldchill
Every day's a school day! I did not know that.

Siw2020 · 08/11/2020 10:30

Kiana or Ciana
