[Opinions] Re: Adrian
in reply to a message by rem
I like it. I used to know an Adrienne pronounced Adrian (and I didn't know she spelled it Adrienne for a long time). Now I know one girl named Adrian and one named Adriana. I've never met a boy named Adrian.
I think Adrienne is fine if you pronounce it ay-dree-ENN, but if you're going to pronounce it like Adrian, then just use Adrian. Or Adrien if you think Adrian looks masculine. My favorite for a girl would probably be Adrien. (using my own judgement as an English speaker, obviously Adrien doesn't look feminine in French but I think it looks feminine in English when compared to Adrian.)
