345.0. "AUDRIANNA" by HOCUS::LONDON () Tue Jan 31 1989 12:51

    Has anyone ever heard of the name Audrianna.  I think it is such
    a pretty name.  Everyone tells me it's too much of a heavy name
    for a girl to have. 
    
    Any ideas?????

    I know an Adrianna which I think is really pretty.....
    It's not quite as heavy sounding.

    I know a girl from Mexico whose name is Adriana.  I assume it is
    a derivation of Adrian.

345.3Audrey + -iana ?KUDZU::ANDERSONGive me a U, give me a T...Mon Feb 20 1989 10:1815
	Yes, definitely too heavy for me.  Sounds kinda like the
	name of a princess in some obscure 19th century German
	principality like Saxe-Coburg-Finkelstein.  Still pretty,
	though.  Just not sure if you'd want to saddle any late
	20th century American commoner with it.

	Couldn't find it in my name dictionary.  My guess is that
	it's a formation from Audrey and the common "-ianna"
	ending -- with a heavy influence from Adriana.  It may
	even result from a mishearing of Adriana.

	P.S.  Will her last name be London?  Audrianna London
	      sounds *extremely* British to me.

    Adrienne is tough enough on it's own.  Adrienne is for 'dark one'; I've
    always (almost always!) enjoyed the name; seldom met more than one
    although at Girl Scout camp, there were 3 in the junior/senior units; I
    got Add-y (as in adding numbers) as the official nickname, but flat out
    refused to answer.  No other nicnames were ever used, except 'A'.
    
    Adrianna gets close in pronunciation; Audrianna seems like a lot! (she
    will be called Audry...)
    
    One who knows,
    Adrienne
