Arianna for a girl?

[winkle2]

What do you think of this name?

I really love the names Amelia and Amelie but I don't want something too popular.

I'm Indian and OH is English so I'm thinking we can have something a bit different for our children's name rather than the traditionally English names.

I really like it.

I saw it in the end credits of a tv programme recently, although I think it was Ariana with just the one n, and thought at the time how nice it was.

I had a Iranian friend at school and her older sister was called Ariane which I always liked but I think I now prefer Ariana.

I think it's lovely.

You're so lucky. DP won't even venture pretty, unique names. I think it's a really pretty name. Different, but still classy.

Beautiful.

really lovely

Really pretty.

I also like Aviana (or Avjana).

There's some lovely girls names and Arianna is one of them.

There's an Arianna at my kids' nursery - it's a lovely name.

Gorgeous.

Love it! A good strong name.

It's a lovely name, but my DH vetoed Arianne/Arianna on the grounds of "goes like a rocket"

I LOVE it. It was what dc4 was going to be called if he had been a she!!!

love it, would def use it in the future with poss nn aria

I cant decide on arianna vs ariana though

it was the girl in Jurrassic Park's name IIRC

Nice, pretty, not too poncy, easy to pronounce (IMO), and not too difficult to spell apart from the n/n thing.

Nothing wrong with it.

I wouldn't say Amelia/Amelie are too popular though - they're not in the top 50 are they? and I've certainly never met one.

Do you say Ariarrna or Ariaana?

I prefer 'just' Arianne. Arianna sounds a bit woolly or vague.

I know an Arianne and an Ariana (Aree-ar-na).

I like Arianna (Aree-anna) best, though. Great name.

Really really lovely :-)
