It's nms because I prefer Adrian for males, and because the way I pronounce it is so similar that it's almost indistinguishable. So it'd be gender ambiguous when spoken aloud, and likely to be assumed to be spelled Adrian by those many people who don't think very much about names. But I do think Adrienne is nice, gives me a sharp, well-dressed image. Not dated. Adrian on a girl is dated, but not Adrienne.

I'd go with Adriana (Ay-dree-Ah-na) if I had to choose, because of the "pronounced just like Adrian" issue. But I don't really prefer it over Adrienne.
