[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] is beautiful! [name_u]Neil[/name_u] is fine and especially if it is an honour name? In [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Vella[/name_f] the double A ending is quite noticeable but not a big deal. Other suggestions for a middle…

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Soleil[/name_f]
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f]

I think the [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] spelling will work best :slight_smile: many people seem to recognize that “ana” is usually pronounced like “ahna” whereas “anna” is “anne-ah”.

I’m not a fan of [name_u]Neil[/name_u] as a middle name, but maybe [name_f]Nell[/name_f] could work?

I would go with [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] for the R-E-ahna pronunciation and [name_f]Arionna[/name_f] for R-E-onna, personally. The pronunciation of [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] is pretty well known due to [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Grande[/name_f], and [name_f]Arionna[/name_f] looks phonetically like it would be R-E-onna, “on” in the middle of a name rarely makes any other sound. Ariahna just looks confusing and [name_f]Arianna[/name_f] would be R-E-anna.

Thank you! Spelling done! [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]. That helps lots.

I’ll think about a middle name. I love [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] but that’s my best friends daughters name and it conflicts with another in the family. I’ll look for something similar. Ideas?

Thanks again

Instead of [name_f]Brielle[/name_f], maybe these:
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Brienne
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Danielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Giselle[/name_f]
