I love Anna, however, think Arianna goes better with Juliet.
Plus, might be a lot of little Anna's popping up after Disneys Frozen has become so popular. (Sighs the mother of a 2.5 year old Elsa)

Only if you say it "Ari-Anna" though, I don't like "Ari-Arna" at all.

Depends where you live, Arianna will get shortened to Ari, which is nice, but sounds like someone mispronouncing 'Harry'. Also could be a bit pretetious again depending on area. I like Anna, it's so pretty :)

As a Frozen hater I vote for Anna. It's classic and timeless.

Arianna is frilly and flowery and princessy and everything I wouldn't want my daughter to be basically.

Annie is nicer than both.

If you really like both then go for Arianna as you could potentially use Anna as a nickname!

Isn't the Frozen character called Ana (Ah-na)?? I prefer Anna to Arianna.

Arianna is a very pretty Welsh name. I love it but Anna is just as sweet.
Tbh our opinion is useless. Wait till you're cuddling her then decide. Don't go with anyone else's opinion.

Anna is lovely and a classic. I don't not like Arianna at all sorry far too fussy for my taste.

Arianna.
Nothing wrong with Anna either, but Arianna has more personality.

I'm an Anna so biased. I've always liked it and it doesn't get shortened. It's not that common though i am pre Frozen! I think anna is timeless too. Biased x
