Hi, Just joined. I'm Jeni, my husband is Jason. We're TTC right now and we're looking at Riyana Jo for a girl and Elijah something for a boy.

Edit: I'd just like to throw out there...that while a lot of people here are posting with the "whats your opinion on..." or "what do you think of..." I didn't do that. I simply introduced myself and said what names my husband and I were thinking about. So if I seem overly defensive in my comments, its because I felt like I was being attacked and given advice and opinions that I did not ask for. And yes, I know that the rules say that whether you as for an opinion or not its an "open invitation" for them, but it still just threw me off.

I don't agree with you on the phonetics issue, but that probably has a lot to do with accent, location, etc.

And I grew up having to tell everyone how to pronounce and spell my name, its not that bad. Especially since we plan on calling her either Jo or Ana.

why don't you name her joanna?

i don't like that name...it isn't the name i picked out...it does not incorporate Rian or Ryan....and I don't like Anna.

lol yes, Joanna would be easier!
I do love the name Ana, but thats just even more confusing! 'Okay... i have a crazy spelling & pronunciation, plus i go by my middle name!' Personally, i would go for the middle name as a tribute to my loved ones.
