Love this one - but having a rough time choosing a middle name to fit with it.

-- namefinder25  1/23/2006

Yea, middle names are kinda hard to fit with this one. Mine is "Arianna Catherine". :)

This name is perfect for a little princess and I like the middle name of Renee behind it. It seems to flow.

This is a great name for a girl. I kind of prefer the spelling Arianna than Ariana. I don't personally know anyone with this name.

"Arianna" reminds me of "Rihanna".

A very beautiful name. I love the meaning of it too. The one person I know with this name pronounces it airy-anna.

One famous bearer of Arianna (the only one I know of, actually) is Arianna Stassinopoulos Huffington. She's a writer, I believe she wrote a biography of Picasso, and now she's some sort of political pundit. I see her on TV every now and again. Her full name is quite a jawbreaker.

What a beautiful name Arianna is. It's very elegant sounding.

One of my best friend's name is Arianna, and her middle name is Norelle. I think it sounds very lyrical!

I think that Arianna is a beautiful name. To me it represents gracefulness and beauty. Anyone who wants a beautiful name should pick Arianna!

Arianna is beautiful and I just love it. :)

Arianna is a beautiful name! One of my friends is named Arianna and whenever I picture someone with that name I see her.

-- sqirrlie  3/1/2007

I love this name and think it's worlds prettier than Ariadne.

-- writing the world  4/4/2007

Yes, I like this spelling better than Ariana. With an extra n, it makes it look royal. This would be a perfect name for a princess or queen or anyone royal. Her nickname would be Ari or Anna, but I like Ari better. A nice middle name would be Rose. Arianna Rose. I think that sounds beautiful!

"Aryan" is much too present in this name for my taste. I just can't get over that.

-- arrowhead909  7/22/2007

Arianna is also of Icelandic origins meaning "song of the siren".

I love the name Arianna! I very much prefer it with two "n"s, spelled this way, Arianna, than with one "n", Ariana. It is so much prettier that way! I think the nicknames Ari or Aria are really beautiful.

-- harry_sent_me  10/18/2007

I like this version better than `Ariana`. `Ariana` seems so uncomplete with only one N, while `Arianna` looks as wholesome and pretty a name can be with two of the letter N.

I like this name, but I hate when everyone pronounces it AR-ee-anna. Seems like you can't escape from Anna.

-- jasmineenimsaj  2/10/2008

This is my name, I love it to death. I've never met anyone with it. And I pronounce it AIR-E-ANNA.

-- Anonymous User  3/2/2008

I'm going to have to disagree. I pronounce the name ari-AH-NAH. I think it's nicer.

-- Koolgal  7/17/2008

I like this name. However, it does sound a little like "Aryan", much to the delight of white supremacists.

-- bananarama  8/19/2008

I know a ton of Arianna's. This name is almost as popular as the name Isabella which I don't like for that very reason--because it's totally played out. Arianna's a very trendy girls name right now. Now don't take me wrong, I do like it, think it's very pretty, but wouldn't name my daughter this because there are just way too many. I also prefer the double 'n' spelling.

-- Bajafresh  8/23/2008

I named my youngest daughter this and I love it. We pronounce it like are-re-anna.

-- bflykisses  9/18/2008

In Italy Arianna was hardly ever used till the 1970s. Today it is common, without being overused (21th most popular name in Italy in 2004, 20th in 2006).

-- presentperfect  12/20/2008

The Italian pronunciation is ah-RRYAHNN-nah. If it was written Ariana, it would be pronounced quite different (ah-RRYAH-nah), but the name Ariana doesn't exist in Italian.

-- presentperfect  12/20/2008

Absolutely stunning! Beautiful!

L'Arianna is one of the first operas, written by Claudio Monteverdi. It is based on the Greek myth of Ariadne and Theseus and is mostly lost except for one piece, Lamento d'Arianna, or Arianna's Lament, a very touching aria. This is personally one of my favorite names and has been for as long as I can remember. It looks beautiful, sounds beautiful, and has a nice meaning.

-- britto08  2/21/2009

Dammit, I LOVE this name but it's so popular. I know at least 4 or 5 women who've named their kid Arianna. It's a great name, something I would've wanted to name my kid if it wasn't so common.
