What is your opinion on this name? [name]Just[/name] came across it on another board. [name]Do[/name] you think it is usable? Also, what middle names would you pair it up with?
Well, [name]Ariadne[/name] is a wonderful name, sincerely. It’s gorgeous and sophisticated. Also, I’m partial to the nn [name]Ari[/name].
I love [name]Ariadne[/name], it’s on my list! I haven’t come as far as middles yet, but maybe [name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Willow[/name] Nimue, or [name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Nyx[/name] [name]Louise[/name].
I find [name]Ariadne[/name] very pretty & I like the soft/tough combo of [name]Ari[/name] (very soft & girly to me)& adne ( very unusual &strong)
I would pair it depending on which element appeals to you
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Philomena[/name]
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Frances[/name]
Or
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Shoshana[/name]
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Corinne[/name]
[name]Ariadne[/name]'s meaning as something to do with spiders, doesn’t it?
From Greek mythology, there was a girl named [name]Ariadne[/name] who could weave better than [name]Athena[/name] so [name]Athena[/name] got made and turned her into a spider so she could always be weaving.
Soooo, because of that backstory, I kind of really don’t like that name.
Nope, that’s Arachne. [name]Ariadne[/name] was the daughter of [name]King[/name] Minos, she helped [name]Theseus[/name] destroy the Minotaur and she married [name]Dionysus[/name]. She was also the granddaughter of [name]Helios[/name], the [name]Sun[/name] God.

[name]Love[/name] [name]Ariadne[/name]! I like [name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Juno[/name].
I love [name]Ariadne[/name], as well. I think I’ll always prefer [name]Arianne[/name], but I love seeing the similar [name]Ariadne[/name], too. I’m not sure about combos, the only real combo I fell for with [name]Ariadne[/name] in it was [name]Grace[/name] [name]Ariadne[/name]. And [name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Grace[/name] makes [name]Ariadne[/name] seem a bit commonplace. Maybe something like [name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Gray[/name]/[name]Grey[/name] or [name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]? I like both of those.
Good luck!
Thanks [name]Ottilie[/name] for correcting that 
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Ariadne[/name] as long as it’s pronounced the proper Greek way – air-ee-ad-nee – but I don’t mind the mispronunciation that most people seem to use (ah-ree-ad-nee).
For middle, I love:
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Helen[/name]
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Therese[/name]
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Simone[/name]
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Belle[/name]
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Elise[/name]
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Selene[/name]
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Colette[/name]
Weird. I was thinking of [name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] as well!
[name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Belle[/name] and [name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Helen[/name] are nice. 
Funny, because the first thing that comes to mind when I hear [name]Ariadne[/name] is [name]Ellen[/name] [name]Page[/name]'s character in Inception. So [name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Juno[/name] would be a serious ode to the actress imo. It does sound great together though.
I do really like [name]Ariadne[/name], it’s very pretty and I love the nickname [name]Ari[/name], [name]Aria[/name], or even Adri. I would pair it something short and sweet liek [name]Ariadne[/name] [name]May[/name] or [name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Snow[/name].
I like [name]Ariadne[/name].
I dislike [name]Ariana[/name], though, which is related. Nameberry’s blurb on each disagrees with me, though. [name]Ariadne[/name] has those nice clarion consonants in the middle that make it distinctive from all those liquid [name]Ariana[/name]/[name]Aria[/name]/[name]Aryana[/name]/Elianas/Aliyahs. Gives it a bit of shape.
[name]Ariadne[/name] is not quite as much my favourite of mythological A’s as [name]Aurora[/name] or [name]Amaryllis[/name], though. [name]Amaryllis[/name]'s myth is pretty disturbing though.
It’s a little fussy for my tastes, and nms, but its very classic and perfectly usable! I agree on using a short and sweet middle. I like the suggestions of [name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] and [name]Ariadne[/name] [name]Helen[/name]
I want to name a future daughter [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Ariadne[/name]- I absolutely love both names! I pronounce it air-ee-odd-nay, which is probably wrong, seeing I thought [name]Penelope[/name] was pen-el-ope for years.
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Ariadne[/name] is gorgeous! As a Greek, the proper Greek pronunciation is air-ee-ad-nee. [name]Just[/name] so you know
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Ariadne[/name]
I love [name]Ariadne[/name], it’s one of my new tops!
I haven’t thought of MNs for it yet, maybe that’s what I’ll do tonight
