Ariana

[petracakes]

any ideas? a good name?
How would you pronounce it, spell it, is it popular?
so many questions

[shivermetimbers]

its nice, prefer Adriana though.

[belgo]

I like it too, and also prefer Adriana and Adrienne.

Don't think it's especially popular.

[frazzledoldbag34]

It's ok IMO.
There used to be a girl at school with my DD1 called Oriarna. Quite pretty (don't like her spelling tho)

[Janni]

It's pretty. I haven't heard it before, although I knew a French girl called Ariane -(Ah-ree-ann).

[Stars22]

I no one 9 year old called Ariana. Its pronounced A-ree-anna.

[nuthacuppatea]

Ariana. It's a beautiful name. I love it! I would pronounce it A ree AH na or perhaps A ree anna but I prefer the first pronounciation.

[MrsMattie]

I know a little Arianna (Aree-ah-na). Gorgeous.

[ninah]

Dd is Arianna!

[harpomarx]

I think it's lovely. I only know one Ariana, she is Brazilian. It is pronounced as Stars22 says.

[ninah]

I think it is popular in Italy too.

[KTRmummyof3]

I think it's a great name and anyway anyone that doesn't you could always say that they have had their chance of choosing a name(s). If they've had children that is!
How about Oriana?

[artichokes]

We nearly used it for DD. We would pronounce it Aree-ah-na. I love it. Its Greek in origin.
