I had a thread regarding choosing the name Ariana as a middle name for Serena, but I am now considering changing the first name to Ariana. What are your thoughts on each name as a first name, what do you prefer, Serena or Ariana? I personally prefer Serena but I love them both.

Serena is beautiful.

I like Ariana best! Serena puts me in mind of a posh New York socialite.

Serena, I think it's a beautiful name.

I am hoping that the craze will die down soon.

When the craze dies down the name will date. Go with Serena Ariana - it’s nice!

Thank you everyone for your feedback so far. I do worry about the association with Ariana Grande, which is why I've been keen to keep Serena as the first name. Is the association really bad? I am hoping that the craze will die down soon.

Serena.
Ariana is too long, too closely linked to a pop star and has different pronunciations and will get Arianna spelling.

I've seen your other thread and think Serena Ariana is fine.
