is it pronounced arry - ad - neee?

ah... positive so far...
we both love the name Hermione but will not use it for obvious reasons!! lol My DH has Polish ancestry so wanted a Polish name (we have an english surname). I wasnt so keen on this idea but looked up a list of common Polish girls names and Ariadna was on there.... looked further and Ariadne is the english equivalent. Whenever ive mentioned this name to people they have turned their noses up in a kind of 'i hate that name' way.

im not a believer in fate but i have picked up two baby name books and both fell open on the page with Ariadne on!! freaky!!

I went to school with one so it always sounds normal to me! I think her middle name was Rachel.
