Comments :

I am not surprised at the fact that Lian can be given as a first name for both girls and boys. As an abbreviation of Ju-lian. Lias as an abbreviation of E-lias For me, as a subjectivity, it sounds more feminine; One associates it with Lee-Ann-similar to Luan from Lou (Louise) and Ann. - Lionel Allee After constant confusion and questioning between "Liam or Lian", we named our son is Lian Marc. He and we love the name. - Penni H.
