I love this name. What spelling is better? And which pronunciation?

I knew a girl all through school who was Ganay, pronounced Juh-nay. I think her mom spelled it with the G because their last name started with one. Lol

I think Janae, pronouned juh-nay is the easiest, and would get the least amount of mispronunciations.

My best friend is called Janaya - pronounced Ja-nay-uh.
I've never seen that name anywhere else. She told me that her mom just made it up. I usually call her Naya - nay-ya.

I taught a Janaya and it was definitely pronounced "ja-nay-uh". For "ja-nay" I'd stick with Janae!
ETA: Although come to think of it, Danae was "da-nay-uh".

@spaniellove: I just met something named Janea and she pronounces it without the a!
@Mrs.KMM: umm maybe you're reading the pronunciation differently? I would never say Jonna that way!
@Astro Bee: I saw it in a baby name book while pregnant and immediately loved it! Just met someone at work with that name

I've known two Janaes, pronounced Juh-nay and that is the spelling and pronunciation I like most.

@Mrs. Pen: Wow, that's amazing. I can't wait to tell my friend. We're 34, so I doubt her mom had seen this in a book all that time ago. Plus they're also from a really small town in Canada, so I can't imagine she would have run into anyone there with that name.
In any case, they are all beautiful names!
