If it has two Ns, it's like ANN-uh.
If it has one N, it's like ON-uh.

I agree.

[sevensevenfour.livejournal.com]

I agree with this one.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Oh, is that the rule?

[ale3000.livejournal.com]

I agree with that as well. My sister's name is Juliana, and she hates it when people pronounce the -ana as Anna.

Julianna- Ju-lee-an-ah
Juliana- Ju-lee-o-nah

Brianna & Briana i pronounce the same, though: Bree-a-nah

maybe I have a different way of saying vowels altogether considering I have a New Zealand accent :D

Julianna/Juliana = Jewel-lee-aah-naah
Brianna = Bree-anna
Briana = Bree-aah-naah

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Here's how I pronounce them
Julianna = Jew-lee-ahnn-ah (which doesn't make sense, as the name comes from a combo from Juliana+Anna)
Juliana = Jew-lee-ah-nah

Brianna = Bree-anna
Briana = Brian-ah

[politicking.livejournal.com]

do you know anyone who actually pronounces Briana as Brian-ah?

i'm curious because i heard someone else say they said it like that, too.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

well, I wouldn't, because I don't live in an English speaking country, but I know some people spell their kid's name Breanna in order to have the Bree- sound and not the Brian-.

[americandiva.livejournal.com]

I used to know someone whose name was pronounced Brine-ah (similar to brian-ah) It was spelt Bryna

[politicking.livejournal.com]

that's a totally different name from Briana/Brianna... i've met a few Brynas myself.

Joo-lee-ÆNN-ah/Joo-lee-AH-nah

B for both.

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

A for both.

i think with one "n" its an "onna" sounds but with two its more of an "anna" sound.
