Re: Arianna / Ariadne
in reply to a message by Felie
Maybe it's because one of my best friends as a kid was named Ariana but I love most of these.
I love: Arianna, Ariana, Ariadne, Ariadna, Arijana, Arienne, Ariane, and Arianne.
I prefer the English pronunciation for all of these except for Arijana which has no English equivalent and Ariadne for which I prefer the Greek pronunciation but I do like the other pronunciations for these names.
Ariana is probably my favorite of these names. Ariadne and Ariadna are my second favorites. If my husband loved Ariana I could see using it for one of our children since it's probably in my top 35 favorite names. The last time I mentioned it he didn't like it.
I also love Mariana which was my nana's birth name but she chose to go by Marian, the only people who called her Mariana were her mother and some of her siblings.

Favorite Names:
Vivian, Aurora, Hazel, Fiona, Sabrina, Citrina, Josephine, Maeve, April, Dorothea, Althea, Artemis, Delphina, Cascadia, Luna, Iris, Frida, Marguerite, Kiera
Ciaran, Rowan, Brendan, Malcolm, Cedar, Robin, Julian, Tristan, Arthur, Magnus, Xavier, Felix, Cedric, Gavin, Connor, Silas
