[Opinions] Arienette
What do you think of Arienette (I'm think of Bright Eyes' Arienette, and I will marry anyone who knows what I'm talking about)? I'd only consider it as a middle name. Ariane is a family name for me; do you think this could legitimately honor that? The spelling is different, as is the pronounciation (ah-ree-AHN vs. AIR-ee-uh-net)... Would Arianette (same pron.) be better?Thanks!-- Sarah

Doesn't sound right to me, but then I don't like -ette endings usually. I prefer Ariana or Ariane.

I like it as a middle name. But i would stick with the Ariane just for the family.

I love Conor Oberst, but I'm afraid I can't marry you. ;) I have to admit that I almost like the sound of Lua as a name, lol--and I do think that Haligh has a neat sound, though I'd hope no one would name a child for "Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh"!I actually don't know "Arienette," though, since I haven't yet listened to Fevers and Mirrors. (My sister bought it, but I'm completely and utterly stuck on I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning.) I would immediately pronunce it ahr-ee-uh-NET rather than AIR-ee-uh-net, and Oberst's pronunciation doesn't exactly grab me, I'm afraid, but I think I could get used to it.Arianette/Arienette (either spelling would be cool, IMO) would be a nice way of honouring Ariane, IMO; after all, Ariane is French, and so is the suffix -ette. So it's like little Ariane. :)Array ("Bowl of Oranges" is her favourite)

...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

Ha ha ha, I can't marry you, either. I really didn't think anyone would get it!I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning is more interesting than Fevers and Mirrors, but doesn't offer naming possibilities (with the exception of Lua, ha)... Though, working with the entirety of Bright Eyes, there's also Laura and Laurent."Bowl of Oranges" is an awesome song. I could never pick one favorite, though.:)-- Sarah
