Adriana or Ariana??

[Mia237]

DH is very picky with names, we finally agreed we liked these two. I like Adriana more but he prefers Ariana. What do you guys think?

Personally Ariana and I find the 'd' a makes the name a bit hard on the ear.

But both are lovely.

(have to add that i named my 2 names that no-one seems to like so what do I know!!)

Adriana is a stronger sounding name, but I don’t really like it much.
Ariana is OK but is a mix of bland and frilly.

I prefer Adriana because I find Ariana a bit insipid. Blends in with all the Ariella, Eliana type names.

Personally I prefer Andrea and Andrina.

Ariana.

Both lovely but I prefer Ariana (Ari-arna)

Both nice. I met the loveliest baby the other day who was named Ariadna.

Not a name that looks like Adrian...

Ariana /Arianna is nicer..

I prefer Ariana.

I prefer Adriana. I like Addy as a nickname

Adriana is a stronger sounding name. Arianna is a bit frilly and wispy.

I love the suggestion of Ariadna or, even better, Ariadne . Beautiful

Adriana 100%

Adriana.

Ariana lacks substance.

Thank you very much for your replies, it’s great to see what other people think. Ariadna is pretty as well. Funny enough that’s a name DH’s grandad suggested ages ago! For some reason, despite Ariana having more votes, I still love Adriana but I’ll keep the three in the list for a girl for now (we will know the sex at birth) ☺️

Ariadne is nicer. Adrienne is quite nice. The only -iana name I like is Diana

Adriana - strong and feminine

Arianna (prefer 2 Ns)

Or...
Arabella?
Amelianna
Amelia
Amelie

Also I love Anneliese

Really don’t like adriana sorry, prefer Ariana

Adriana definitely! It was on my shortlist for dd2. Ariana is also a beautiful name. I wouldn't chose it as with Ariana Grande being so famous, people may assume a link (nothing bad about this, I'm just not a fan particularly). Also Ari for short sounds like you are saying Harry with a dropped H, which could get confusing.

One of the reasons I didn't chose Adriana, is because dh and I couldn't decide on whether to pronounce it with a short or long A.

Unfortunately for me DH vetoed Adriana now 😩 and I love the name! Ariana I like but I’m not feeling it as I want Adriana. As much as I want a girl I’m starting to wish is a boy as we both agree on the name. I’m finding this very difficult as DH turns down all the names I like 😭

Ariana is a very girly name. Adriana sounds more masculine (if you know what I mean).

I prefer Adriana!

Adriana or Oriana

I like both but prefer Ariana, also like Adienna and Ariadne
