I think that this is a pretty name, and I prefer the “are-ee-anne-nuh” pronunciation.

This is my name and I experience three main issues with it.
1) Mispronunciation. (air-ee-anne-uh), (aye-dree-on-uh), (air-ee-on-uh). It's annoying. My name is (are-ee-on-uh).
2) Ariana Grande. I am so sick and tired of the constant Ariana Grande jokes. I've heard a lot of people fix that problem by going by "Ari" but that's never really worked for me.
3) People never remember it. Teachers, Co-Workers, you name it. It gets annoying having to constantly remind people and then them being all, "Oh yeah! Adriana." Seriously.
It's a nice name but it comes with a toll. On the bright side, it means holy.

My name is Arianna. My middle name is Lau. Lau is my mom's last name before she married my dad. My last name is P___ which is a Russian last name. So my full name is Arianna Lau P____ which really goes well together. A lot of people think of an Arianna they think of Ariana Grande which I hate. A lot of people teased me and call me Ariana Grande. So, I mostly go by Ari. My great-grandpa died 4 days before I was born and he was Jewish so the Ari part is about him. My family and I are not Jewish but my grandpa is Jewish. A lot of people think of a white girl when they hear Arianna but I am 1/4 Russian, 1/4 English, and 1/2 Chinese. Some people think I am from Spain which is pretty funny. I love my name even though the Ariana Grande stuff is hard to deal with.

This is my niece’s name and I’ve always thought it is too finicky to say or write out. I struggled saying it so much in the first year of her life. Nowadays I just call her Ari. Easier on the mouth. Also the association to Ariana Grande is too strong for my liking.

My name is Arianna my middle name is Lynn. My mom said that the way most people say my name around where we live it is sounded out like airyanna but that is not how you say my name. I am from Utah but like it a lot where I live now.

My name is Arianna, RE-ahn-na. My nickname growing up was Ari - RE. I was born before this name even showed up on the popularity listing in the United States. My parents thought they made it up. My grandparents stated it was a fairly old Russian name (my paternal-grandparents are Russian). Growing up no one had ever heard of it and other than Arianna Huffington, I've not met anyone over 30 with the name. I have no middle name and no longer go by Ari - Jewish boy's name and I am not a boy. Lol I go by Arianna and I love it. For those that cannot pronounce it I tell them to call me Anna. By the time my daughter was born in 2003 Arianna was in the top 100 girls names in US. (my daughter is named Vanessa) I did hate always spelling and correcting pronunciation on my name - like I said, NO ONE had heard the name when I was young. Now, I'm happy to politely correct people.

My name is Arianna. Middle name being Renee, and I love it, I think it fits. I live in the south in the US, and I hate how often people mispronounce my name. It's pronounced Ah-ree-ah-nah, and my nickname is Ari. More times than not, no matter how many people you meet, most of them will pronounce it differently. From Airy-ah-nah, Airy-anne-nah, to Ah-ree-anne-nah. It really depends on the person. I used to hate my name, but now that I'm older, I love it. Also, I've only met two other people with this name, pronouncing it the same, but they both spelled it differently, but I like it this way the best.

Yay this is my name! My family as well as myself pronounce it like it is spelled Ari-anna. I hate when people call me Ari or Anna, a great nickname is Annie (this is the one I use). But be prepared for lots of corrections when being addressed by others because this name is pronounced many different ways. And obviously I prefer Narcisa as a middle name because it is mine and it is a rare name. You can find the proper pronunciation on YouTube... but make sure you spell it right or you will get lots of Harry Potter references.

I chose Arriana as a middle name for my daughter Hailey who died at birth. I chose then to name my next daughter Arianna. I have always loved that name. I call her Yanna, and her siblings call her Nana or Arianna. She dislikes being called "air e anna" and corrects anyone who does. She's a beautiful, smart and intelligent young lady. The name also has meaning similar in the Islamic culture.

Cute name because it has so many nice nicknames Ari, Ria, Anna, Ann, Annie, Aria, Nina and basically all middle names and last names sound nice with Arianna.

When I first heard of this name, I was in middle school reading the final Harry Potter book for the first time. It was spelled Ariana, but I still thought this name of either spelling was beautiful. Now, I know so many Ariannas and Arianas that the name has completely lost all the charm I originally found in it. I still think it's a pretty name, but I'm not nearly as blown away by it as I was when I first read it in Harry Potter all those years ago. I much prefer the root name Ariadne, as it's still got the same beauty but has so much more originality to it. Arianna is one of those names that popularity has ruined for me.

Arianna is the Italian name derived from the Greek name Ariadne. In Italy it is widely used. My daughter is named Arianna and the pronunciation in Italian is totally different to how the English say it. It was not common then, but it is now, with every nationality using foreign names as the norm.

We have an Arianna who is 15 years old. We pronounce it ARE-ee-ah-nah, not AIR-ee-ah-nah... Most everyone says it 'Air'. Sometimes I think if I would have spelled it with one N, this may not have happened as much.
Anyway, she mostly goes by Ari. Full name is Arianna Elizabeth.
She has always liked her name a lot. It's not super common in our area or schools. This is her first year of high school, and there is one other Arianna (senior) in the school. Previously, she has been the only one.

We named our daughter Arianna pronounced "Are-ee-ona" we use Ari for her nickname "Ar-ee"
Beautiful name! Always receive compliments. The only downfall is the association with Ariana Grande and the North American pronunciation of the name "Air-ee-anna".

I really love this name as it is my 21 month old daughter's name. We pronounce it ARI-AH-NAH and her short form for her name is Anna pronounced AH-NAH. I also used Gwendolyn as her middle name as it is my grandmother's name but I love the sound of it with the name Arianna. I also prefer the two "n's" opposed to one, I feel like it looks empty with only one "N".

Beautiful, elegant, and regal. I think it sounds better when pronounced Ari-AH-NA. When the end part is said like "anna", it sounds sloppy.

I think Arianna is easier to pronounce than Ariadne. I also think it sounds better than Ariadne. It looks like a conjunction of "Ari" and "Anna", that I favor in regard.

This is my name:) It's true though, more and more parents are naming their kids this BUT it is very pretty. Also, I personally have only met one other girl with this name, and she spelt it differently. She spelt it with only one 'N'. And I pronounce it ari-AH-nah.

When I hear this name, I automatically assume her parents are racists, because of the Aryan sound to it. Good name if you want your little girl to grow up to dance around a pole.

Dammit, I LOVE this name but it's so popular. I know at least 4 or 5 women who've named their kid Arianna. It's a great name, something I would've wanted to name my kid if it wasn't so common.

L'Arianna is one of the first operas, written by Claudio Monteverdi. It is based on the Greek myth of Ariadne and Theseus and is mostly lost except for one piece, Lamento d'Arianna, or Arianna's Lament, a very touching aria. This is personally one of my favorite names and has been for as long as I can remember. It looks beautiful, sounds beautiful, and has a nice meaning.

In Italy Arianna was hardly ever used till the 1970s. Today it is common, without being overused (21th most popular name in Italy in 2004, 20th in 2006).

The Italian pronunciation is ah-RRYAHNN-nah. If it was written Ariana, it would be pronounced quite different (ah-RRYAH-nah), but the name Ariana doesn't exist in Italian.

I know a ton of Arianna's. This name is almost as popular as the name Isabella which I don't like for that very reason--because it's totally played out. Arianna's a very trendy girls name right now. Now don't take me wrong, I do like it, think it's very pretty, but wouldn't name my daughter this because there are just way too many. I also prefer the double 'n' spelling.

I like this version better than `Ariana`. `Ariana` seems so uncomplete with only one N, while `Arianna` looks as wholesome and pretty a name can be with two of the letter N.

I love the name Arianna! I very much prefer it with two "n"s, spelled this way, Arianna, than with one "n", Ariana. It is so much prettier that way! I think the nicknames Ari or Aria are really beautiful.

Yes, I like this spelling better than Ariana. With an extra n, it makes it look royal. This would be a perfect name for a princess or queen or anyone royal. Her nickname would be Ari or Anna, but I like Ari better. A nice middle name would be Rose. Arianna Rose. I think that sounds beautiful!

One famous bearer of Arianna (the only one I know of, actually) is Arianna Stassinopoulos Huffington. She's a writer, I believe she wrote a biography of Picasso, and now she's some sort of political pundit. I see her on TV every now and again. Her full name is quite a jawbreaker.
