I pronounce them ah-ree-AH-na. The 'aw' (as in awesome or Austin) is totally unfamiliar to me. Then again, I've also seen people online use 'on' and 'au' to convey the 'ah' sound as well. Not being able to hear what each other is saying can be confusing sometimes. So, do you pronounce the name with the 'awe' sound?

Anyway, Arianna/Ariana is a beautiful name no matter the spelling. I prefer Arianna since Ariana is closely associated with the Welsh name, Ariane. I also find Arianna more visually appealing.
