I served a lady at work today who was wearing a necklace with Mariana on it and I thought 🤔 what a lovely name it was! Classic, different in the UK, not out there ,easy to spell and a choice of short versions Mari and Ana obviously, Maria and Riana also

@Krakinou To me it is a geographical location. But you are right, after the initial getting used to it would be okay. Other names Liliana, Juliana etc.

That's Marianna though (marry-anna) so slightly different to the name the OP is asking about, which is Mariana (marry-ahna).

I was pronouncing it Marianna in my head I knew a Portuguese Ana (pronouced Anna) if it makes the name more socially acceptable..but yes marijuana is more often dope or weed or skunk and god knows? in my experience, Mariana a versatile name

It’s a lovely name. Recognizable but not at all overused in the uk and lots of options for nicknames. Works for a baby and an adult.

Also I don’t get how the Mariana Trench is a bad association. It’s the deepest part of the ocean, mysterious, impressive. What’s the issue with that?

Quite, The trench is not on my radar...dope and weed and and all the other names given to a drug I smell on strangers in the street everyday didn't cross my mind when I read Mariana on a ladies necklace.. just thought it was a pretty adaptable name suitable for a baby or adult, with many acceptable diminutives different yet classic
