Ariana

Are you saying this name is racisit? Well it's not and the form 'Arianna' seems more girly if you want a more boyish daughter I prefer 'Ariana' It's shorter and nicer.

Mine is more of a tomboy and goes with nickname Ari.

Oh ok! My friend Ariana is more of a goth and goes with Ariana.

Maybe because of Ariana Austin Makonnen?

Exactly! Just because of Ariana Grande doesnt mean this name is awful. I dont even really like Ariana Grande.

SAME!

Why is everyone dissing my best friends name?
First of all let me tell those meanies that my best friend Ariana is NOT bratty in fact she loves adventure and is a kinda of a tomboy. I completely recomend the chat for this name only if people were not that rude.

Ok I get why Ariana is in creative names list but why princess?

I love this name so much! It is very strong and pretty. It can suit any girl even though I have met only one Ariana in my life and she is very close to me.

Yeah Back then this was a pretty rare name but with Ariana Grande she makes it more popular.

Yeah tomboy Ariana's might go with the nn Ari.

Oh come on Nameberry! On comments you put those who said they met bratty Arianas one of the BEST?! :( :(

I know in English you usually don't put effort when it comes to what we call double letters, but I want to point out that Arian Race in Italian is Razza Ariana... So better go with Arianna, which is correct as Italian name

Not me though. I have a close friend named Ariana so this name reminds me of her.

The name Ariana is a very nice name and ive always loved it. With my close friend Ariana she makes me like this name better. If your name is Ariana don't listen to what people are saying in the comments. It's very beautiful and not every Ariana is bratty. I see Ariana as an intelligent and compassionate girl.

I have a close friend named Ariana and she is not bratty at all!

Ahr-RI-AH-nah.

It sounds beautiful when said w/a Japanese accent.

I love this name, and the nn Ari is SO CUTE!

I know it's oh-so-popular, but I'm absolutely in love with Ariana. One of a few names that I would use despite its popularity and "trendiness" just because of how utterly beautiful it is.

Even though I didn't understand half of things you've said, I agree.

I can only think of Ariana Grande

I pronounce it Ah-ree-ah-na, but it could also be pronounced Air-ee-ah-naa, Ah-ree-ann-ah or Air-ee-ann-ah.

Same, but my bratty Ariana is the GRANDE herself.

I've met a bratty, whiney Ariana in the past, too! Totally killed the name for me.

I always liked this name until I met one, the little girl is such a spoiled brat it kind of killed it for me. But then I think of Ariana Dumbledore, so that's a nicer connotation.

My name is Ariana but I pronounce it Ahr-yah-nah which is how it is pronounced in Albanian .

How interesting. I pronounce it like that, except for it ends in AH-nah. Well, actually various Ariana's/Arianna's I knew of pronounce it differently.

pretty yet classic name but the associations with Ariana Grande put me off, especially with some of her recent behaviour. Would pronounce it Ah-ree-arn-ah (i'm British)

My niece pronounces it "are-ee-on-ah". I have seen this name pronounced at least 4 different way, but I don't want to post them all. Pretty name.

I think its very pretty.

if only this weren't so popular!!!!!!

Ariana Grande is to popular now that if you name your child and there in middle school or high school, the first thing in mind would be Ariana Grande

It is ah-ree-an-ah

I really love this name right now and it sounds so pretty. I do think of Ariana Grande when I hear the name but I'm kind of a fan of hers so I don't mind. But is it pronounced with air-ee-on-ah or are-ee-on-ah?
