[Opinions] Jeanna
WDYTO Jeanna prn Jee-Ahna? Also, if you can tolerate Ebenleigh (eben-LEE, not EB-en-lee), wdyto Ebenleigh Kelsie Jeanna or Ebenleigh Jeanna Kelsie? Same combos, but prn. like Gina?

I have considered "just" Jeanne, but I'm really not crazy about the name. Reminds me of Eugene.

My name is usually mis-spelled like this. I spell my nsme with only one N.

Ebenleigh still sounds like Heavenly with a cold, no matter how you try to get me to pronounce it. I never feel like I'm putting a lot of stress on any certain syllable anyway. Jeanna (gee-ANN-uh) is actually quite pretty, and I like the look of Jeanne too. Ebenleigh Jeanna (pronounced Gina) Kelsie is the only one that works for me. It feels like there are too many syllables otherwise. 3 3 2 is just too much for me, I [generally] try to avoid that in my own combos, though there are some exceptions.

My first thought was to say it like Gina. It's an interesting spelling if you say it that way.
I've never been fond of the pronunciation jee-AHN-ah (or any of the variously written equivalents). My other nickname is Gianna and I've always insisted that it be said the Italian way (JAHN-ah).I like Ebenleigh Kelsie Jeanna better if it's said like Gina and I like Ebenleigh Jeanna Kelsie if it's said jee-AHN-ah.Ebenleigh is okay. I don't really like it too much, but I can't bring myself to not like it either.

I love Jeanna (pro jee-AH-na) and have been contemplating this spelling over Giana. My mom's middle name is Jeanne. I do not really care for the Gina pronunciation and would be afraid that it would be constantly pronounced that way. In a middle name slot though I don't see there being a problem. I do not care for Ebenleigh. I also don't think that either combo flows very well but if I had to choose I would go with Ebenleigh Jeanna Kelsie.

I'm not crazy about it. When I see it, I just wonder why the parents didn't go with Gina.
