I heard the name Ariana (not sure of spelling) a little while ago- is it very popular- does anyone like it and does it have a nick name?

I love the name. I know two. One is seven months and the other is 15 years old. I dont know another Ariana. But from what Ive heard it is becoming quite popular. But I still think its beautiful.

I was almost named Ariana, and the nickname would have been, Ari, or you could use Aria :)

I love the name and have seen it spelled ARIANNA. but I do think that either would be fine. i think the nn would be Ari and I do no think it is very popular at the moment

I went to grade school with an Arrianna (spelled this way) who was younger than me, she should be about 25 now. Arianna Nicole is the name of a close family friend's daughter, who is about 1 or 2 yrs old. I don't know (of) any others.

I love the name and would use it.

Can it be pronounced "Ari-arna or Ari-anna" which is better- I like Ari-arna

My friend pronounces it Ari-anna!! You could use Ari as the nickname but I prefer the name without a nickname

I would say Ari-ahna despite the spelling. Arianna with 2 n's is the Italian spelling, and is still pronounced ari-ahna.

Ariana is definitely ari-ahna.

I think that Ariana is a beautiful name. It's the name of one of my favorite ballet dancers who I took class from a couple years ago. I'm hearing it a lot more often now, but I don't think that it's super popular...at least not yet. I've heard some called Ari.

I like it, but I prefer the spelling Arianna. I don't think it's very popular (but then again, popularity doesn't effect my feelings for a name). I know one Ariana (spelled that way), and she is 8-years-old. She doesn't have a nickname, but I guess nicknames could be Ari, Ana, Ri, or Riana. Although, I don't think nicknames should be planned.

I love Ariana. It's near unheard of where I live (Scotland), but I believe it's getting quite popular in the States. I like Arrie (not sure of spelling) as a nickname for it.

Arianna/Ariana are fairly popular where I live; one mother nn her little girl Arin. (pronounced like Erin.)

It's definatley popular where I live. It's okay but it doesn't have any appeal to me.
