That spelling will almost certainly make people think it's the "anna" pronunciation your after. I prefer Juliana, which is lovely. Much better than Anna Elizabeth: both Anna and Elizabeth need something more unusual to counteract their overused status.

I love Juli- names, especially Julianna and Julianne. I think of a sweet little girl, but I think the name also ages well. Julianna Elisabeth is a pretty combo but a bit long- I would prefer Julianna Elise. ;)

I'm with Mie about the prn being -ah-na with one N, -an-na with two. I like Juliana a lot - not as much as I used to though, since I've kind of stopped liking -ana names in general so much. Just Julia is fine with me. Anyway Juliana or Julianna Elisabeth is very pretty - and more colorful, fresh, and assertive sounding than Anna Elisabeth to me. I think Julianna's taller, more striking, and a higher achiever than Anna. :-) - chazda

Well when it's spelled with the two N's instead of one then I automatically assume it's pronounced Ann-a and not Awn-a. And I prefer the pronounciation for this spelling. I would use Juliana if you wanted the Awn-a pronounciation. Other than that I do like the name. It's very pretty but I prefer Anna Elisabeth.

I like it a lot. It's one of few that's remainded on my favourites list for a long period of time. I prefere that pronunciation aswell, but I like the spelling Juliana better. The second N just seems pointles to me.I think Julianna Elisabeth is nicer than Anna Elisabeth because Anna is very plain. I imagine a nice girl who is a bit shy and tomboy-ish, but very smart.

I like Julianna, although she might have to correct some pronounciations. I like Julianna Elisabeth better than Anna Elisabeth, I think it flows better. I imagine she would have brown hair and light eyes and probably be of English decent. She would be middle-upper class and classy, but not frilly or primpy. She would be a kind person and would help out when she can.
