Oriana- It looks and sounds very pretty. It is lovely.
Orabela- No. I don’t like this. I would much prefer Arabella. If you must do this name, I would suggest two l’s
Orietta- Not my favorite. It’s okay I guess, I prefer Arietta but I guess, Orietta is good.

Oriana - Actually rather like this. Might be a nice alternative to Ariana / Arianna, which feels tired to me.

Orabela - I've never encountered this one! I'm intrigued.

---

Orietta - Not a fan of names ending in -ette or -etta as a rule.

Oriana: love it and might actually use
Orabela: never heard of it but I’m intrigued
Orietta: it’s alright.

Always quite liked Oriana, don' t really care for the other two, they feel awkward to me. Would rather see Ora or Oralia.

I just don't like Aura-/Ora- names, they are super frilly and decorative and the 'gold' meaning makes it even more ostentatious.
Of the three Orabela for some reason feels somehow less ' artificially constructed' than Oriana or Orietta, so I prefer it, but I don't particularly like it. I don't see gold so much as fake frosting pink with gold flakes. Ironic, as Orabela is Esperanto haha!

I have Oriana on my PNL and it's not a top choice but I can see myself using it. It has a nice ring to it, and it's rare but recognizable.

---

Orabela is interesting. I prefer Arabella, but I like it as an Esperanto name.

---

I'm not a fan of Orietta, it looks too ornate.

Oriana: I like Oriana. It’s a bit of a guilty pleasure but I would totally use it. It’s golden and has some strength to it.

---

Orabela is... okay actually. I would prefer Arabela or Arabella. But this isn’t awful.

---

Orietta is fine, I think. It’s an okay name.
