Hadrian really is handsome. I like it a lot, somehow it's shinier than Adrian. It has a different sort of texture.

Hadrian Jude feels really cool. Very hipster. Hadrian could be another Atticus (remember when people were obsessed with Atticus?? Ah, memories). Hadrian Phillip is very grand, they look great together. Hadrian looks good with kingly names beside it, but the sort that are a bit more down to earth perhaps, like

Hadrien is ok, it's fun too, but Hadrian feels more rounded out. The -ien ending makes me think of lean, anemic sorts of things.

I like it (although I do prefer Adrian). Not quite enough to consider it for a future child, but I would encourage others to use it if they liked it.

I prefer Adrian but it's still good

I'm the exact opposite. I FAR prefer Adrian.

I love the Wall; perhaps some ancestor of mine had a hand in building it, a couple of millennia ago! But as a modern name, I vastly prefer Adrian. Anyway, although the H is sounded in the name of the Wall, it was silent in Latin, so sounding it is a sure sign that one's son was named after a wall.

Don't like it at all

I think it's cool! I recently read Marguerite Yourcenar's book Les Mémoires d'Hadrien which warmed me to it. Hadrian Adler? Hadrian Anders?

Hadrian's gorgeous—it's statelier than Adrian, which I also like.
