I personally prefer Ariana. But Rosanna is nice too. I'm no help really

jackieOpaperLANTERN · 21/10/2009 20:06

Ariana

piscesmoon · 21/10/2009 20:12

No contest-Rosanna-definitely.

Ronaldinhio · 21/10/2009 20:15

emmared1980 · 21/10/2009 20:17

wow thanks
let me know which one you eventually go with

Ariana sounds Greek-ish to me. Ariana Stassinopolos (sp) was a Greek MP, I think. Rosanna sounds more traditional, old-fashioned, but not your usual.

What about shortening/nicknames? Rose is lovely, but Ari? Or would you go for Ana?

Just a few thoughts.

FWIW I love Ariana, definately my preference, but they are both lovely.

MrsJiggle86 · 21/10/2009 20:25

I prefer Rosanna

MoreCrackThanHarlem · 21/10/2009 20:26

Ariana

I prefer Ariana, but both are nice.

Rosanna reminds me of that maid in 'The Moonstone'.

emmared1980 · 21/10/2009 20:32

Tearinghairout-was hoping more for a Welsh thought when people heared Ariana haha...! Don't really 'do' shortening/nicknames so either would be used as a full name if that makes sence???

Rosanna definitely!

lalin · 21/10/2009 21:37

They are both gorgeous names. It all depends which goes better with your last name. Rosanna is my favorite though Ariana is beautiful too. Good Luck

Rosanna is lovely, and it makes me think of the Chris De Burgh song 'For Rosanna' which although I know is sappy but it's such a sweet song to a baby.

dizzydixies · 21/10/2009 23:59

could you not wait and see which she looks more like?

TanyaBranning · 22/10/2009 00:07

Both gorgeous, but Rosanna wins for me.

doubleexpresso · 22/10/2009 21:47

Rosanna. Very pretty and has nice 'shortenings' eg. Rosie, Anna, Rosa.

shoobidoo · 22/10/2009 21:49

Both beautiful! Does one go better with your last name?

mathanxiety · 23/10/2009 02:37

Another vote for Rosanna.

Snotmonster · 23/10/2009 02:51

Rosanna was on my list if we'd had a girl but was thinking of Rosina as my Grandma is Lily Rosina (well ahead of her time obvioulsy)

branflake81 · 23/10/2009 10:31

I like Ariana but think it might be odd on a British child. Assuming you are British, that is.

rimmer08 · 23/10/2009 19:44

ariana definately
