I'm assuming it's different than
Adrianna (I pronounce
Ariana differently than
Arianna)? I don't really have feelings about it.
It strikes me about the same as
Andrea or
Emilia would...nondescript but not in a bad way, more down-to-earth...not as vivid as
Viviana or as sweet sounding as
Juliana or
Liliana. I prefer it to
Briana,
Liliana,
Emilia but not to
Andrea,
Viviana,
Juliana. I'd guess an
Adriana was younger than an
Adrienne, though I don't really prefer one over the other, and I don't have a preference between it and
Ariana either.
It might get mistaken for
Ariana but probably because people aren't paying attention, rather than because they actually sound that similar. I associate
Adriana with
Adrian /
Adrienne, and
Ariana with
Ariella.
