[Opinions] ah-ree-AH-na
in reply to a message by Lily
Any Ariana or Arianna I have met uses this pronunciation so this is what I would default to. Never air-, I don't pronounce Aaron with an air sound either but I think that is a regional thing. I know a couple girls with this name, both spellings, but their ages are so varied that it is hard for me to say the name is too common. Heard of for sure, but I don't find it to be one that would doom a kid into being Ariana/Arianna Lastname for the rest of her life.
