Kells i do like Zali and the other name but Ziani/Ziaani really stuck plus my husband REALLY likes it too and its hard to please him with a name.

The last name is Robinson which really matters...keep that in mind with flow!!!

I don't like the name you mentioned...sorry. Also remember that she will have this name for her entire life...you don't just name a baby, you are naming an adult too. The name you have mentioned she will have to explain how to spell it and how to pronounce it to everyone she meets.
What about Zoie? I think most people spell it "Zoe", but I like Zoie better.

would you really have the middle name A-man? Actually, It's A-man with a jamican accent! A-mon! I think Ziani isn't horrible, but Ziani Aman sounds way to masculine! I think maybe spelling it more feminine, and giving a feminine middle name would make it better.
Zyani
Ziany
Zianie
Zyanie
Zeani
Zeanie
Zeany
Zeanni
Zianni
Ziannie
Zianny
Zyanni
My favorite spellings would Be Ziani, Zyanie, Zianie, Or Zianni. I would have to choose Zianni.
Zianni Paige
Zianni Amara (like Aman, but more feminine)
Zianni Mona
Zianni Maeve
Zianni Amelia
Zianni Amila (a-MILL-uh)

Hi.
I think either Ziaani or Ziani would be fine, I don't see a pronounciation problem with those. Sianni made me think it would be pronounced Shiani, like the name Sian.
Do you also like Zali as a name? Or Zara? One I really like is Zosia (pronounced Zosha) - I think it is Polish. I was a teacher and taught a little girl with that name, really pretty.

The name you want for your child is not popular (I've never even heard it) in English speaking countries. Some of the names I listed are Hebrew and popular in Israel, like Zion (or Tzion), but if you're from the U.S. too many people will not be familiar with it. Still, this is your child and it's your decision as well as your husbands to name her what it is that you want. Just remember she won't be a baby forever and once she starts school there will be trouble with pronunciation and maybe teasing. Congrats and best of wishes.

Don't give your child a name that requires a pronuciation guide. Teachers and nurses will butcher it.
The only people that you won't have to worry about mispronouncing her name will be hiring managers, because one look at that name and in the trash her appliacation will go! I'm not saying this to be mean. It's a proven fact! It's even got a title: Name Discrimination!

I like Ziaani.
Aman I don't like. You dont want the first name to end with a vowel sound and then the middle name start with a vowel sound, it doesn't flow as well.
One of my favourite girl names is Devorah, its the Hebrew for Deborah, pronounced "Deh-VOR-uh"; that would sound nice with Ziaani

I'd be careful when giving your baby a name they can't pronounce and spell that others won't be able to pronounce or spell either. It might cause her trouble during school, when kids can be cruel.
I could pretty well figure out how to pronounce the name without your guide, but others will not be able to.
Here's a list of names with Z. http://www.babynamesworld.com/browse-by-z-1.html
