Very pretty

Is it from Arian, would have to be blonde? Mind you, I think many name origins are lost now and it doesn't matter if your Russell isn't a red-head etc. It is a lovely sounding name. Quite fairy-like.

Very nice. I know a girl called Ariana.

Lovesdogsandcats · 31/07/2009 11:48

Also Arianne

Lovely - we know an Ariane.

if my mum had her way I would have been called Oriana, which I guess is pretty much the same. Always used to wish I had been called that when I was growing up as it is much nicer than my actual name. Love it.

V pretty name. I also love Ariadne which is the original form of the name and Oriana too1

maggievirgo · 31/07/2009 17:16

Prefer Arianne. Less is more sometimes, and this is one of those times.

my DD4 is going to be Arianna

now I just have to get DH to agree to having DD4 and we're off

I would have loved it, I think, had I never read Harry Potter. Now I just think Dumbledore. Sorry!

TwoHot · 01/08/2009 17:09

Sounds like a cruise ship. A very nice one tho!

MrsMattie · 01/08/2009 20:30

I like it. Would you say 'Ar-ee-anna- or 'Ar-ee-ah-na'?

bevlin · 01/08/2009 20:38

I love it and am jealous you can have it! We have friends with a daughter called Ariana and it's just such a beautiful name and not too over used but at the same time, not one of those chavy made up names either.
Everyone who hears her name loves it too.

Gorgeous.

MamaLazarou · 04/08/2009 14:52

It is lovely, unless you are French. Sorry if anyone reading this is French and called Arianna, but I think it gets all swallowed up in the accent.

I think it is lovely but wasnt there a space shuttle called ariana that crashed a few yrs ago?
