Do you like Serena or Ariana more as a first name?

[aliza87]

I had a thread regarding choosing the name Ariana as a middle name for Serena, but I am now considering changing the first name to Ariana. What are your thoughts on each name as a first name, what do you prefer, Serena or Ariana? I personally prefer Serena but I love them both.

Serena

MUCH prefer Ariana - beautiful

Serena. Because Grande

Love them both but prefer Serena

I really like Serena as a name but all I can think of for both names is Serena Joy and Ariana Grande. Feel like Ariana might feel a bit dated when the singer is no longer famous or if she does something (always a problem if you have the same unusual name as someone famous) and obviously Serena Joy from the handmaids tale is terrible but only for people who have read the book or seen the tv adaptation.
All names come with baggage!

Neither. Tennis player or pop singer or some sort of fairy.
Just my opinion !

Serena is lovely

Thank you so much everyone for your feedback, I am going for Serena! :)

I like both. Probably Ariana slightly more, but I used to live in Italy and knew a few. It sounds nicer with an Italian accent.
