love Aria but can't use it

I'm trying to think of similar names.

I did think of Arianna but as a massive HP fan I don't think I'd like to use any associated names. Plus Ariana Grande is quite well known now so might get too popular.

I taught an Aida (in Spain), pron eye-da, which I thought was lovely, and opera related so similar to Aria

leoniethelioness · 21/11/2015 20:23

Alexandra was the first one that sprung to mind

leoniethelioness · 21/11/2015 20:24

Or Alexandria!

Helgathehairy · 21/11/2015 23:34

I've got an Aria, who for a while was going to be Ariella, as Ella was DHs second choice name. But we wanted to keep the name short so went with Aria in the end.

Sophronia · 21/11/2015 23:38

Ariadna (Spanish version of Ariadne)

Tbh I'm kind of talking myself into Arianna. Would the Ariana Grande association put you off ?

I like Aurelia and Ariadne but they don't sound as nice in our accent we in Scotland have to be careful I think.

Speaking as a fellow hp obsessive fan, I think Arianna is beautiful & the majority wouldn't associate it with potter as minor character ....not like your going with Hermione I would of but got vetoed both times
Also dont stress in relation to pop stars, most fade pretty quickly over the years.
Also I've the same (full) name as a very famous actress from the 80's - she didn't fade to anyone over 35, but its never done me any harm, I actually quite like it!
Adrianna is a lovely name Smile

OhTinky · 22/11/2015 10:23

I'm a big HP fan but I have no recollection of the Arianna character Blush and Ariana Grande isn't that big over here - I wouldn't associate the name with her if that make sense. Britney on the other hand...!

It's only spelled with one N in HP I just prefer it with two haha !! She's dumbledores sister.

DH has just decided it's too American now anyway Hmm

Ariela

Never heard of Ariana Grande.

Fugghetaboutit · 22/11/2015 10:44

Would never think of Grande tbh. My friend is Italian and called Ariana and I think of Italy. Such a lovely name

MyNewBearTotoro · 22/11/2015 11:33

I don't know who Ariana Grande is so wouldn't put me off. Ariana is lovely.

I know an Arlia (not sure in spelling) but don't know if that is too similar to Aria?

If you love Aria can you definitely not use it?
