HelpAdrian (m) and Adrienne (f)
What do you think of these two names?
Bonus: what do you think of Noah, Jonah and Jonas and how would you rank them if you had to?

I love Adrian (m). Not that into Adrienne. I think Adria is cool though.
Noah is not my style, I don't like the NO thing, and anyway it's too much a bible name for me personally.
But I do think it's a likeable name, it has a sort of heroic energy to it, like Eric or Elijah or Marcus or, well, Adrian.
Jonah gives me a sort of childish and anemic vibe, and Jonas is like that too, only it's also smug. I don't like them. I don't mind Jonah in real life but I think I would not like calling someone Jonas.

I've never liked Adrienne in English. In French it's fine.
I'd use Adrian as a male fn without hesitation. However, someone I know is changing their name to Adrien, without being even somewhat French, and I find that regrettable.
Noah, Jonah and Jonas fit together conveniently into my Too Biblical By Far category. Noah, starting as it does with a No, is at the bottom of the list. Jonah is hardly a role model; Jonas is slightly better, but since it's the Afrikaans version of Jonah, it gets more use where I live. If necessary, Joseph gives Joe as a nn and is less obviously biblical in English by now. I'd consider using it.

Love Adrian (and Adrien) but I don't like Adrienne. Adrianna is okay, but its not a favourite
Noah I don't like at all - it just sounds like you're saying no awkwardly to somebody "no, ah-"
Jonah is only a little better - it at least has Joe on its side
Jonas is the best, but its not my style

I like Adrian and Adrien as unisex.
I've only known one Adrienne and she pronounced it Adrian. I don't like that, but Adrienne is fine if you pronounce the "enne".
Adriana and Adrianna seem more popular. I like Adriana, but Adri sounds dated.
Jonas gets bonus points because of The Giver, but I prefer the sound of Jonah.
I know a Jonah and a Noah but Jonah seems more "regular person" to me while Noah just reads "Noah's Ark".
