It gives me a sort of aggressive vibe. Like
Ava, but less bombshelly. Or I could say it's assertive and ambitious, to sound nicer ... basically the 'character' I picture is a pretty, loud-voiced gal who wears a pinstriped suit (or a sports team uniform) and she's fun and bright and capable, but very goal oriented and will step on your head to advance herself if she finds it necessary. I prefer
Adria as fem form of
Adrian - it gives me more of the expansive, peaceful, intelligent feeling I get from
Adrian. I mean, most names that start with "AY" seem a little ... what's the word, aggressive - generally in a positive way, like an archer taking aim, full of initiative ... I just feel like
Adrienne is less balanced than
Adrian (m) and
Adria.
I find myself expecting
Nicole and
Renee as middle names, heh. So I guess it's getting a bit dated, too.
