Adria

I'm loving Adria right now. WDYT? Can you suggest any combos?

I've always thought of Adria as a place name and a legit name in its own right, but it's listed here as a short form of Adriana. Do you think it has the legs to stand on its own? Is it juvenile? Does it seem incomplete compared to Adrian, Adriana/Adrianna, and Adrienne?

Adriatic Sea came to my mind first, for some reason, not your names. nms, but I don't see why it couldn't be used.

Yep, it can stand on its own. It's pretty. It doesn't seem incomplete, very beautiful name.

I suppose Adria could stand on its own. If feels a little contrived to me. But if Eliza can stand on its own from Elizabeth, I don't see why Adria couldn't liberate herself too. It just wouldn't be my choice.

Oh, wow! I've never encountered it before. It's lovely. I'm stealing it for my PNL.
I see absolutely no reason why it should not stand on its own. Compared with Adrienne, which I like, it's so fresh.
I love Adria Rosalind - makes me think of toast and honey!
I also like Adria Juliet and Adria Simone
