Am I the only one who sees this pronunciation?

The name Yliana. I've been struggling to find the correct pronunciation in English. I mean there is the typical Hispanic ''ill-ee-ah-na'', but in English I don't see that. I only see the harsher pronunciation that is ''eye-lee-ah-na''. I respect the fact that it is not of English origin, but I feel like the y and the i together would look and sound harsh if it were Anglicised. Agree or disagree? Thanks.
