HelpRe: Adriana
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
I'm assuming it's different than Adrianna (I pronounce Ariana differently than Arianna)? I don't really have feelings about it.
It strikes me about the same as Andrea or Emilia would...nondescript but not in a bad way, more down-to-earth...not as vivid as Viviana or as sweet sounding as Juliana or Liliana. I prefer it to Briana, Liliana, Emilia but not to Andrea, Viviana, Juliana. I'd guess an Adriana was younger than an Adrienne, though I don't really prefer one over the other, and I don't have a preference between it and Ariana either.
It might get mistaken for Ariana but probably because people aren't paying attention, rather than because they actually sound that similar. I associate Adriana with Adrian / Adrienne, and Ariana with Ariella.
