I'd say AIRY-anna. If it was Ariana I *might* think it was maybe ah-ree-AWN-ah, but Arianna is def. AIRY-anna.I would assume Ariana and Arianna are the same name with different spellings.

hmm but are they really the same name if pronounced differently? I mean sure they have the same origin but still...

*shrug* I don't know. I think of them like Mary and Marie. Same name but spelled and said differently. You know?

Hmm yeah me too I just wouldn't combine their popularity because in sound Mary and Marie are different enough to tell them apart easily. So if Mary became the number one name I wouldn't say Marie was too common to use because the sound is distinctive enough.I would probably not use Elissa because it's so close to popular Alyssa and the difference is hardly to be heard and they will always get confused. But Mary and Marie would be different enough for me.
