Help[Opinions] Re: Briana
in reply to a message by Lily
I like Briana or Brianna, pronounced brie-ANN-a or BRIE-an-a (like Brian + -a). Not sure how accurate it is irl, but that's how it's pronounced in Outlander (by the Scottish people, anyway).
I don't like either of the two pronunciations you mentioned. Where I live Briana and Brianna are usually both bree-ANN-a. Bree-AH-na is more of an African-American pronunciation in my experience, and is sometimes spelled Brionna so people will know that's the pronunciation they want. But either way spelling it Brianna or Briana wouldn't change how it was said.
I feel like Brianna etc. are dated to the 90s.
