Please help with name pronunciation

How to correctly pronounce the name "Liane"? Is it pronounced like "LeeAnn" ? Thank you.

According to Longman's Pronunciation Dictionary by J. C. Wells, the name Lianne (with two 'n') is pronounced something like /li'aen/ (the /i/ sound is a short /i/ so it is not 'Lee', and what I wrote as /ae/ would be the vowel sound for 'a' in 'cat'. There is a word which is written as the name you mentioned but it is not considered a name in the dictionary (it doesn't start with a capital letter). It is pronounced with the same /i/ but with the British vowel sound for 'ar' (Eg 'car' in BrEng). Considering this dictionary is based on British pronunciation I'd say that both words, and consequently the name, should be pronounced with /ae/ in AmEng.

Is that a name or do you mean buoy?

It happens to be my name and is pronounced:

Li (as in libra) - a (as in appreciate) - ne (as in net)

 

Hope that helps.
