I am currently expecting dd3 and I am looking for a classical type of name to run alongside my other dd's names (which obviously I won't state here because I could well 'out' myself).
Georgiana was my first thought but dh doesn't like the shortened version of Georgie.
The second name which has come to mind other than Mariella (which has been ruled out because it is too close to dd1's name) is Arianna - which I presumed could be shortened to Anna.
Thoughts on Georgiana and Arianna please...or any other similar suggestions...

I think arianna has a strong celeb connection to ms Grande and I would assume your dd had been named after her.

Yes, Ariana is another variant, shortened to Ana, not sure which shortened version I prefer Anna or Ana - one of them is in Disney frozen isn't it though can't remember which one...

Arianna looks a bit odd to me, like it's missing an initial M. I don't think I've come across it before, so maybe I'm just unfamiliar with it, although I know both an Ariane and an Ariana (both are not from the UK).

I prefer Georgina to Georgiana, but I absolutely love Arianna.

I would have said Georgiana, as I'm fed up with everyone raving over the name Arianna. However if your DH doesnt like Georgie. You're best or with Arianna or Marianna.

Arianna is beautiful.

Georgiana always sounds a bit made up to me. I'm not particularly keen on it.
