love Aria but can't use it

[mayaknew]

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.

My DD is called Alexis but toyed with idea of Alexa for a while... Possibly also Aurora, Lara, Elise, Alicia... I know I have others because I like that sort of name but I can't think off the top of my head I'll get back to you

[milkingmachine1]

Forgot to say that I love the name Arianna

[milkingmachine1]

I was referring to the OP's post saying her husband/partner thought it was too American.

[PearlyFish]

We have an Aria and also like the name Allegra, which has a similar sound and also has musical connotations. Pregnant with number 2 now and wouldn't use it ourselves as it would create a bit of a theme, but I do think it is really pretty.

Arianna is lovely and doesn't make me think of Harry Potter at all, but I agree it has become more popular due to Ariana Grande. That can happen with any name though so don't let that put you off a name you love. We get some comments about Game of Thrones but mostly people think of the musical term, and in time any reference to a pop star / TV show /book will fade.

No one said it wasn't, just that my friend is Italian :)

[milkingmachine1]

I'm pretty sure Ariana/Arianna is a Greek name

[MyNewBearTotoro]

Just looked at her Mum's fb page and name is spelt Arlea.

[MyNewBearTotoro]

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?

[Fugghetaboutit]

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

[BikeRunSki]

Ariela

Never heard of Ariana Grande.

[Artandco]

Adriana

[mayaknew]

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

[OhTinky]

I'm a big HP fan but I have no recollection of the Arianna character 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...!

[MooseAndSquirrel]

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

[mayaknew]

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.
