[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce...

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.
