Favourite Aria- variation?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] :blush:

I am a big fan of the name [name_u]Aria[/name_u], but unsure whether I prefer it as a name itself or as a nickname for a longer name.

I have considered it for my list as short for:
-Ariane
-Ariana
-Arianwen
-Ariadne

Are there any longer versions you guys can think of? And do you prefer it as a nickname or a name by itself?

Thank you! :blush:

I like it on its own, but my favorite long form is [name_f]Arianell[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I like [name_u]Aria[/name_u] on her own, but I think she’s sooo fun as a nickname for the sweet and whimsical [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]! I also like her as a short form of [name_f]Arrietty[/name_f] and [name_f]Araminta[/name_f].

[name_u]Aria[/name_u] is just fine on its own. I love it.

[name_f]Arianell[/name_f] or [name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] are my personal favourite longer versions :slight_smile: [name_f]Arianwen[/name_f] is pretty too

I like [name_u]Aria[/name_u] in her own right :white_heart:

However [name_f]Arianwen[/name_f] is very sweet magical choice

my favorites from your list are [name_f]Ariane[/name_f] and [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]. in Poland name [name_f]Adrianna[/name_f] is kinda popular

I like [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] a lot! It’s reminiscent of other names like [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] but less commonly seen.

I love the sound of [name_f]Ariane[/name_f] but for me it’s too close to aryan, making me think of WWII. [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] inevitably makes me think of [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Grande[/name_f]. [name_f]Arianwen[/name_f] feels delicate and ethereal but again I can’t help thinking of WWII a little :see_no_evil:
(Even though [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] has the letters too, I don’t react the same with [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]. Maybe because of how prolific the singer is, or the fact that the common name component of -ana kind of distracts me from it?)

I love the name [name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] too, and I think [name_u]Aria[/name_u] could be short for that! [name_u]Or[/name_u] even an unexpected nickname for Maria/Mariana.

Arianne/Ariane is my favorite - she was in my top 3 for years! The other names are nice but little compares to [name_f]Arianne[/name_f] for me. Also a big fan of [name_f]Ariela[/name_f], and I think you could claim [name_u]Aria[/name_u] for her, even though the [name_u]Ari[/name_u]- and the -a are split up by the “el”.

And I suppose I would say a nickname; I like just [name_u]Ari[/name_u] way more than [name_u]Aria[/name_u] myself, so I would be using [name_u]Ari[/name_u] regardless of if my options were just [name_u]Aria[/name_u] or [name_f]Arianne[/name_f]. But I do like that [name_f]Ariela[/name_f] or [name_f]Arianne[/name_f] are more unusual than just [name_u]Aria[/name_u].

I prefer it by itself! [name_m]Even[/name_m] though it is only 4 letters long, it is 3 syllables, so I don’t think it needs a longer “full” name.

But of the names you list, I think Ariana/Arianna is best.

If you are looking for a unique full name, [name_u]Arizona[/name_u] is a fun option.
