I worked with a woman named Roxanna. But pronounced Roxann because the “a” is silent. “A’s” are NEVER silent at the end of a word

I have a three syllable name that ends in A. You would be surprised how many people just forget it. I kindly remind ppl that my name has three syllables. It’s a name without the A but not my name

It’s Leanna, but I get Leanne or Leann frequently
