Georgiana or Arianna?

I am currently expecting dd3 and I am looking for a classical type of name to run alongside my other dd's names (which obviously I won't state here because I could well 'out' myself).
Georgiana was my first thought but dh doesn't like the shortened version of Georgie.
The second name which has come to mind other than Mariella (which has been ruled out because it is too close to dd1's name) is Arianna - which I presumed could be shortened to Anna.
Thoughts on Georgiana and Arianna please...or any other similar suggestions...

DD is Georgiana (Georgie) Rose. I love it we know no one else with the name and is not even on the top 1000 in the Uk. Arianna reminds me of Arianna Grande, but you could always see what she looks like Smile

You could shorten Georgiana to Annie or Gigi

Love Georgiana. It will likely be shortened to Georgie though you could easily push for Georgia, George, Annie, Ana without people blinking an eyelid

Arianna is pretty but it seems like a name that will date. I don't find it as lovely as Georgiana

I really think that if you named a girl Arianna right now, many people would think Grande, and assume you were a big fan or something!

But maybe I'm not cultured enough!
