Just thought of this name today. I love Adrian for a boy but there are also female Adriennes. This name seems much more solidly male. I am really starting to love it..

WDYT of it?
How does a Drew, Donovan, and Hadrian sibset sound?
Can you think of any Nicknames for it?

I love it!

It's handsome and sophisticated, and you've got the megacool Emperor Hadrian namesake.

It jars a bit with Drew and Donovan, and it's rhymey with Donavan.

It is cool and I think I am going to keep it. It has just enough people that think it's odd to keep it from going viral LOL

Thanks for your review.

I think it sounds harsh and unpleasant. Adrian is much softer. I suppose that makes it more feminine but I find that it makes it more attractive too.

I a Hadrian sounds too much like Adrian, being the latter much better for me.
I like Drew and Donovan.

It's alright. I do slightly prefer it to Adrian. I like the historical connection with Hadrian. It makes it seem much more solid and masculine than the more earthy modern Adrian.

In the sibset you've listed, I actually think Adrian would fit much better.

Nicknames for Hadrian? Hmm... Haddy (with short a, not long) is the only reasonable sounding one that comes to mind.

I think you are right that Adrian fits better with Drew and Donovan. I still like Hadrian as a name better though.

Love it, though I don't like Adrian. The H just makes a difference.
