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 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?
