The name is [name_f]Adriana[/name_f]. My husband pronounces it Adri-[name_f]ANN[/name_f]-a, but I pronounce it like Adri-ON-a. We say the beginning with a long ‘A’ like Ay, too. Is that correct?
I’ve always pronounced it [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-dree-ah-na
I say ay-dree-ah-na. If it was spelled [name_f]Adrianna[/name_f] I’d pronounce the end as anna. There’s no one correct way to say this one as I feel people in different areas will say it various ways, and it also depends on spelling too.
I would pronounce it [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-dree-ah-na
I think it depends on your accent! I’m Australian, and I think people here would pronounce it A-dree-ah-na. But that’s because of the way we pronounce other similar sounds: e.g. banana as ban-ah-na, rather than the American ban-ann-a.
A-dree-[name_m]AH[/name_m]-na.
As a pp said, for the A-dree-[name_f]ANN[/name_f]-a prn, I’d go with [name_f]Adrianna[/name_f].
I pronounce it ay-dree-[name_f]ANN[/name_f]-ah. I know a woman named [name_f]Adriana[/name_f] who pronounces it like this (she’s in her 30s). I think ay-dree-[name_m]AH[/name_m]-nah is more likely to be used in Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking communities though. I would pronounce [name_f]Adrianna[/name_f] as ay-dree-[name_f]ANN[/name_f]-ah too.
As others have said, it depends on your accent/where you live. Asking family and friends should give you a better idea of how others in your community pronounce it than an online forum.

Agree with this.
I say ay dree ah nuh.
I think this is more regional/accent related than “correct” vs “incorrect”. If I was using this name, I’d expect to get both pronounciations.
I say it Ay-dree-ON-[name_m]AH[/name_m], but I’d likely switch to Ay-dree-[name_f]Ann[/name_f]-[name_m]AH[/name_m] if others were saying it that way.
If I wanted to assure the On-a prn. I’d spell it [name_f]Adriana[/name_f].
I’d pronounce it [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-dree-ah-na as well.
A-dri-[name_f]ANN[/name_f]-a.
I agree with this exactly! I’d always heard that an -anna ending was said like that, [name_f]Anna[/name_f], as in the “A” in “apple”, while -ana was [name_m]AH[/name_m]-nah, like the [name_f]Anna[/name_f] in Frozen or the first “A” in [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. So I would say [name_f]Adriana[/name_f] like ay-dree-ah-nah, but [name_f]Adrianna[/name_f] as ay-dree-ann-ah. But if I was speaking Spanish (which I rarely do, but I try to get international names right, so if she was ah-dree-ah-nah, I’d try to say it that way), I’d probably say ah-dree-ah-nah.
Like [name_f]Anna[/name_f] in “Frozen”
I say [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-dree-ah-nah too.
I say ay-dree-on-uh. I agree that it’s a regional thing and depends on your accent.
My instinct is Ay-dree-ON-ah. But [name_f]Anna[/name_f] has two pronunciations, so I think it’s fine either way.
My cousin’s child is [name_f]Adriana[/name_f], pronounced [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-dree-ah-nuh. The only other [name_f]Adriana[/name_f] I can think of is a Youtuber who pronounces it Ay-dree-ann-uh. I don’t think there’s one “correct” spelling.
You say it the way you wanna say it. I say it [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]-On-Uh
