the thing is I really like Briana pr. bre-AH-na which was used in the poem The Faerie Queene. Just wondering how many of you would pronounce it the same.

Just curious...thanks :)

Briana/Breana "bree-AH-nah"

Brianna/Breanna "bree-AN-uh"

Bryanna/Bryana - idk, brie-AN-uh?

Briana, Brianna, Breana, and Breanna I would all pronounce bree-AN-a.

Bryana and Bryanna I would pronounce brie-AN-a.

I know bre-AH-na isn't an uncommon pronunciation for Brianna. It's just one of those things that you'd always have to tell people. Actually my husband has a student named Breona who pronounces it that way, although I'd pronounce that spelling as bree-OH-na.

I don't like any of the pronunciations. If I could get away with pronouncing Briana BRIE-an-a (like Brian + a), then I'd like it.

bree-anna for the first four; bry-ah-na for the fifth, and bry-anna for the sixth.
Incidentally, I'm never sure how to pronounce the not dissimilar Bryony!
