I love this name. It is my name and I am glad. It is a unique name. Although I used to hate it now I love it.

I'm someone who loves to write, and I once used this name for a character in a story. Everywhere else I've seen it, it was spelled "Arianna". I'm glad I'm not the only one who spells it with just one "n".

I love this name. Not sure if I would use one "n" or two though.

"Ariana" reminds me of "Rihanna".

So trendy.

There are so many new mommies naming their babies Ariana. It is a beautiful name but not so unqie now.

My daughter has the name Ariana. We say it as ARE-ee-ah-nuh and we call her ARE-ee for short. The first time I saw this name I was reading a Danielle Steele novel and it was a character in her book titled "The Ring". I've loved the name ever since.

This is my name, but I spell it AURIANA. I've met lots of Ariana's and Arianna's, but never someone who spelled it with a U, like me. I like my spelling better because it's more unique.

I heard the name for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and I love it, it's gonna be my daughter's middle name! It sounds so pretty.

I love the name Ariana. It sounds very exotic, but isn't quite so unique anymore.

Aside from being a bit too trendy for my tastes, this one makes me think of a "soap opera princess".

No offense to all Arianas out there, but here's why I wouldn't use this name: it just doesn't look balanced - it has too many 'A's, and the 'I' in the middle just makes the effect too much to handle. And names ending in '-ana' just give me the impression that the parents are either being too lazy or trying too hard to choose the name. Phonetically, it flows, but I can't say the same for the spelling, sorry.

I like the triple A combination of this name. It's a beautiful name and I don't understand the whole comment about it being "off-balance". Either way; it's also cute and you can use the nickname of Ari.

This is a beautiful name, no wonder it's gradually getting more recognition. I'm writing a book and my main character is definitely going to be called Ariana.

Evidently this name is becoming more "trendy", but I have yet to meet an actual person with the name Ariana.

However, I grew up around TONS of Adriana's. I always thought Adriana was pretty, but I found the 'd' somewhat harsh. Take the 'd' out, and you have Ariana--I like it.

This is my name! I love this name it is very cute and sweet. I am proud of my name. My nickname is Ari but I've never been called Ana.

-- AwAriDoll 2/16/2012

It sounds like the name of a Disney princess, or a character out of a book. Four syllables is bit over the top for me.

-- JW41926 3/16/2012

I'd be careful with this name, since Ariana also happens to mean "(female) Aryan" (as in the Aryan race) in several languages, including Italian and Portuguese.

er-EE-ah-nuh, thats just me :)
