Arianne

[pinkpiggy]

What do you think of the name Arianne? After short listing some top 20 girls names, I saw this one and I think I quite like it.

I knew an Eirian, pronounced the same I think. She was just the loveliest, sweetest, kindest, gentlest soul (and she was a doctor). When I saw the title of your post I thought of her and it made me smile. Positive associations - has my vote :)

lovely, I know a few.

you will get a few "know what I mean Arry"

but all the ones I know are very nice.

I like it. Arienne and Arianna are nice too.

Arianne is beautiful, another version is Ariadne if you fancy something different.

Really like it :)

Love it - the similar sounding Ariana is on our list.

I like it, but prefer Adriana (pronounced ad-ree-are-nah)

Love it!

Eirian is pronounced Ey-ryann and I think Arianne is Arry-Ann.
I like it. Arian means silver in Welsh :)

Both sound lovely FfoFfycsecs. Do you know if there's a difference in meaning between the two by any chance?

Thank you everyone! Do people prefer Arianne or Arianna?

Prefer Arianne - lovely name

I think it's lovely, very pretty name. I prefer Arianne as it sounds more simple and elegant, Arianna is just that little bit too 'fussy' for me (though both are nice names).

Arianne is one of my very favourite names. DH has said he quite likes it too, so it's def on our short-list.

The only concerns I have with it are:

• people hearing it as Marion (my name is a bit unusual, and often mis-heard, which I hate!)
• The rocket. Probably wouldn't matter too much for most people, but a family member was once involved with it (which is when I first heard and fell in love with the name) so I'm not sure if they would find it a bit strange.

Like but prefer arianna

I think of the rocket. Not keen, sorry.

My niece is called Arianne. I've always thought it a lovely name. Did think of the rocket at first though.
