I like them separately, but they don't really go together. Maybe it's because they're both long and end with the same sound. I love Ariadne, though I like Ariadna even better. Serenity is shiny, you'll get some Firefly jokes so I hope you're okay with that.

I like Ariadne, I’m not crazy about Serenity.

They don't flow well together at all, much too rhymey. But each is nice individually.

This looks wildly uneven, sorry. You have a storied name from Greek mythology paired with a modern English noun / virtue name, and it's visually jarring. (I'm also not digging the dual long-E endings.)If we were to take the Latin form of Serenity, and have the combo Ariadne Serena (because of the two names, I think Ariadne is the one that should be kept), I this this is both visually and aurally more appealing.

Ariadne is lovely. I’m not as big on Serenity because of the aduld diapers, and with Ariadne it’s just too many “ee” sounds.

Both would be all right alone, or with names they don't rhyme with. As it is, I don't enjoy the sound of the combo at all.
