[Opinions] Re: How would you pronounce Mariana?
in reply to a message by Vigdis
I think of the Spanish pronunciation first because I am a Spanish teacher but I have many students who are either names Anna (AH-nuh) or it is part of their name: Sushanna, Audreanna etc. and I would say you are going to get about 50/50 on correct pronunciation. I think it is more obvious that it is the Spanish pronunciation with -ana ending instead of the -anna spelling because many people claim that Ana and Anna are different because of the double n. I hope you choose Mariana because I think it would be a fairly unique name.
