| My boyfriend and I are expecting a baby girl at the end of August. We both like the name Gianna, but can’t agree on a spelling. I like the original spelling Gianna, but he likes Jiana. I told him spelling it with a J will doom her to life of her name constantly being mispronounced, lol. Which do you think sounds better? The middle name is Alexandra if that helps. |
| Gianna |
| Jiana is really ugly compared to Gianna |
| Gianna. Jiana is awful. |
| Oh, come on, OP. |
|
When he puts a ring on your finger, he can have more of a say in the name.
Gianna |
|
| Gianna |
| Spelling it with a J will definitely mean everyone mispronounces it and one of the likely alternate pronunciations will sound like vagina. |
This. Plus Jiana is very Duggar-esque. |
|
Jiana is terrible.
Will you pronounce Gianna the traditional way or do you have some other pronounciation in mind? |
| Agree with all of the above. it’s a beautiful name! Use the “G”. |
| I love Jiana, unique and melodious! |
| Gianna is the way to go here. |
The traditional way. |
