Leiana as this makes the most sense to me.

Leiana. This spelling gives that exact pronunciation in Afrikaans, which would help where I live.

Leiana or maybe Leyana (I prefer Leiana).maybe Leana but that one could be confused for lee-ann-a.I wouldn't use any version that has an "a" in the first syllable (whether it's Lai or Lay) because I would read that as a 'lie/lye' sound. I would read Lae as 'lay', but Laeana looks awkward.

Strange. I read Leiana as "lie".

I think of it as an elaboration of Leia

Leana or Layana, perhaps! I do prefer Leanne "Lee-ANN," Leanna "Lee-ANN-uh," and Liana "Lee-AH-nuh," however.ETA: Looking back on this, now that I see this spelling...I much prefer Leiana to Layana and Leana.

Leiana looks better, but I wouldn't pronounce it the way the thread asks. I'd say lie-AH-nuh.

Lie ÀH nuh would be like Lyana, Lyanah or Lieana
