It's okay. It's my niece's name (Ariana Marie). I don't like that the pronunciation is so changeable. In my niece's case, it's said AR-ee-ah-na, but even my husband (and Ariana is his sister's child) never says her name right -- he says AIR-ee-ah-na.

I love it. I think it's beautiful. :)

I prefer the spelling Arianna.

I love it. We thought about it with Anna (dh chose that) and sometimes, I wish we'd gone with Arianna which is so feminine and lovely and elegant. I also love the nn Ari. BTW, I prefer Arianna which looks more complete to me, however, Ariana is lovely as well.

It's pretty, but very common where I come from. I like the NN Ari, though.

I like it. I first came across it in Harry Potter, and I thought "Woah, that's an amazing name!" Then I came to this site and learned that it was popular, and I backed off it a little. I still like it though. I like the nns Ari, Aria, and Ana.
