I've never known an Adriana, and all the Adrienne people I've known have gone by their full name all the time.

I would expect Rian rather than Rain, which seems too much of a stretch.

I know a teenager who is transing and has chosen Adrian as his new name. A good choice; parents and grandparents are very supportive, but they have all found that they only feel comfortable calling him Adi (rhymes with Lady). When I asked him, he said he definitely preferred Adrian, so that's what I use. I can't imagine Andi at all.
