Adriana - what do you think?

[SquidgyMcPidgy]

What do you think of the name Adriana? Any associations? Would it be easy to pronounce? What kind of a child do you imagine when you hear the name? Just any thoughts really, please :)

I say it aye-dree-arh-nuh

The only association that popped up was Adriana Lima, the VS model. Otherwise, I've never known of anyone else with the name! It is very pretty and agree with pp that it sounds very sophisticated. Love it.

I agree that there will likely be pronunciation differences (ad-riana versus ay-driana), but I don't think it's a big issue. My official first name is Tiana, which people struggled knowing whether to pronounce as Tee-arna / Tee-anna. I didn't mind really, so I guess its just whether that would bother you. :)

Love it!

It reminds me of Adrian which I don't like.

Prefer Ariana

It’s a bit LA prom queen for me, if I met one in RL I would think it was a bit try-hard. But as a name in itself there is nothing wrong with it, in fact it’s very pretty.

Thank you everyone! I’m glad the majority of opinions are positive, it gives me a bit more confidence in using the name.

I love Ariana too but where I’m from it’s a brand of beer so can’t use it..

Prefer Ariana.

not rtft. Ad-ree-ahna?
Nice but not keen on Adrian for a boy.
Adrienne (Ad-ree-en) is nice but Adrien isn't.
