[Opinions] Ariana, Taylor, Rihanna or Selena (m)
Which would you choose, and why?
Just for funsies, how would you rank them from best to worst?
I bet Taylor will be on the bottom.

Yes, Taylor is on the bottom. It hasn't ever been a good name. Trendy surname names never are. Not even the few that I like, unfortunately.
Selena is a nice name but just doesn't appeal to me sound-wise. So Selena gets #3.
I like the name Rayhana more, in the abstract, than Ariana. Pronounced rye-HAH-na, not ree-ANN-a like the singer... and spelling it Rihanna is interesting, I like it.
If it's Rihanna pronounced ree-ANN-a, that's cool, but not as appealing. I personally like Ariana more - if it's pronounced ah-ree-ah-na.
If Ariana is airy-anna, that changes everything
So
Rayhana / rye hah na
Ariana / ah ree ah na
Rihanna / ree anna
Selena / seh leh na
Ariana / airy anna
Selena / s'leena
Taylor
for a baby of mine
Ariana - - - Selena - Rihanna - - - - Taylor
according to how they appeal to me as names
Rihanna - Ariana - Selena - - Taylor.

I almost like Selena well enough to use in real life.
Never liked taylor because it's so ambisexual. Arianna is okay but the multiple ways it's pronounced are a dealbreaker. Rihanna likewise; apparently it's Ree-ANN-a and not Ree-AH-Na. I don't like the look of it.
So from best to worst:
Selena
Arianna
Rihanna
Taylor

Selena would be my top choice. It's pretty, international, and recognisable.
Selena
Taylor
Ariana
Rihanna
Taylor is more friendly sounding than fluffy pretentious sounding Ariana. I also quite like the nickname Tay. But I have put Rihanna at the bottom for three reasons:
1. Rhiannon is a common name here so it might be confusing.
2. Rihanna is a one person name IMO. It would be like using Cher. Ariana, Selena and Taylor aren't immediately obviously associated with the singer.
3. Her real name is Robyn, Rihanna is a stage name.
