HelpRe: Ariana or Mariana?
in reply to a message by Serafina Starstrider
I've got no impression of Ariana, because I've never encountered one (or a reference to one). So I suppose it naturally looks unfinished to me.
Mariana is Shakespeare and Tennyson, but it's also inconveniently long when Marianne is available. So, my preference would be, first Marianne, then Mariana; Ariana dnf.
I should mention that there is practically no Hispanic naming where I live, outside a small Portuguese community who mostly use the names of Catholic saints as far as I can see.

My nana was named Mariana after a Catholic saint supposedly. They named all their kids based on the saint day name list given to them by their church. Technically my nana was supposed to be Carmen but they pretended that she was born a day later so she would be Mariana according to the saint day. My nana didn't find out until she was an adult that her actual birthday was a day earlier. I think she was born July 16th and they pretended it was the 17th.
