You are right, that is a Nordic, Scandinavian, Dutch name
I would guess fairly easy for Spanish speakers to pronounce. A nice spin on the traditional Maria

Exactly. Whoooo-liana and Jew-liana are very different names. Like Whooo-stina and Justina.

It would be like naming your bilingual DD Eugenia. I LOVE it in Spanish hate it in English

It's also pronounced exactly the same as marica which is arguably a slur and roughly translates to f+ggot, pansy, p+ssy in Spanish so it's a no for me for that reason.

LOL. Yeah, it's easy to pronounce. Have fun explaining to Spanish speakers it's a "spin" on Maria.

Having worked with an Inez, most non-Spanish speaking Americans pronounce it EYE-nez. I think this is common to many names with the letter "i" in them -- Violeta would be pronounced vie-oh-LET-uh.
