Welcome to our group
Sarah!
Ariane is simply scrumptious and absolutely lovely!
The first thing that comes to mind if adding an M on the begining and making the name Mariane (or
Marianne), what to you think?
There is also Adriane (
Adrienne),
Ariadne, or what about something like Cariane / Kariane (
Carrie /
Karrie +
Anne) or Dariane (Darienne, which I have seen used for a little girl before)?
Or if you liked your name you could make it Sariane (like
Sari +
Anne).
The only other suggestion I have would be to use
Ariane as the middle name, or just ignore the fact of the name being that close to
Ariana and use it anyway. Also this site says the name can be pronounced like er-ee-AN (which is close to
Ariana) or like a-ree-AN which is a bit different so you could use that pronounciation instead if you wanted to.
I hope my suggestions helped a bit! :)
