Yeah, I knew an Adrienne who pronounced it like Adrian.

So did I, in high school. Outside of Francophone places, I think most people would pronounce Adrian and Adrienne the same way. Whenever a customer at work tells me she's Adrian/Adrienne (happened a few times), I always have to verify spelling. I've even seen Adrianne now and then, but I'm not a fan of that spelling because it makes me think the name is ay-dree-AN.

Oh! And...There was a song by a band called The Calling entitled Adrienne, and they, too, pronounced it like Adrian. lol it was one of my favorite songs as a teen.
