It's not as harsh as other guy names, but still has "texture"? What an I even saying right now. Anyway, I like it a lot.

I like it, and I suppose I could potentially use it as an honoring name (my mom's name is Adrienne). It's a name that sounds nice and isn't stupidly overused, so it's a win for me!

I like it; I also like Aidan, Aaron, and Eamonn (the Irish version of Edmund).

It feels pompous and cold to me. I never liked it.

Me too! That's not why I like the name, but it doesn't hurt my impression.

I've always loved Adrian, and when an 18-year-old I know came out as trans and chose it as his name, I was delighted. Then he decided to use the French spelling - Adrien - and the English pronunciation, which rather spoilt it for me, though I haven't said anything. It's a big decisiion, and not my business. I wouldn't use Hadrian either, because that to me is Wall and nothing else.Since my actual children have three names each, my standard combo for Adrian is Adrian Douglas Paul.

I love it, I decided it was in my Tip Top recently too. There's two of us... so it'll probably blow up. No reason it hasn't already, TBH, except I think people think it's kind of girly.I think there's just nothing wrong with it at all, and it's beautiful, and it's strong, AND it's ANCIENT.

Long-time favorite, but fell off my Top 10 a long time ago. Still really nice and handsome!

There was a user on here that suggested an Adrian combo a few months ago that I loved under a thread about siblings or multiples or families etc. That I LOVED but I can't for the life of me remember what it was nor find the post again and it's driving me crazy lmaoLikewise I like Adrian Evander

One of my top tier favorites for myself as well actually. So handsome and strong yet so sweet and gentle. I always imagine a shy, introverted, studious young man, with a tall, broad built and brown soulful eyes, trying to work hard to rise above circumstance. I will definitely consider it for a future son if one is had.
