Starting a new post as we try to finalize between these 3 names:Aria, Ariana & Azalea
Aria - is a beautiful name but seems to be getting way too common (perhaps because of game of thrones ) , Ariana , fairly common again and Azalea which seems more unique and nice.
I agree that Iggy Azalea ruins Azalea for me. I like Aria best, it's beautiful. Ariana is also nice, just not my favorite. Would also add that I've never seen GOT..
I love the name Ariana, it was the only name DH and I agreed on for a girl but we had a boy and now I'm running into Aria and Ariana EVERYWHERE including a dear friend's DD and our neighbor's DD.
Aria and Adriana are both very popular. If that doesn't bother you, I vote Ariana out of your options. Like another poster said, Adrianna is a nice option. It sounds similar and it's less popular.
I love Azalea - hopefully Iggy Azalea won't be relevant for much longer, so your child's peers won't even know who she is. Same goes for Ariana Grande. Aria is definitely growing significantly in popularity because of GOT and Pretty Little Liars. So if popularity bothers you, maybe reconsider.
Azalea!! Its unique, and beautiful. Iggy is a flash in the pan and won't be around long. That name is timeless in my opinion and underused. Aria is EVERYWHERE.
I like Aria and Ariana! Don't worry too much about the pop culture references - is anyone really going to remember Ariana Grande or Iggy Azalea in 10-15 years?

Maybe Ariadne would be a good option?
I vote Aria.
I think that Ariana is sort of frilly and it doesn't roll off the tongue either. I prefer Adrianna.
I absolutely love Azalea. It's beautiful and unique!

Same goes for Ariana Grande. Aria is definitely growing significantly in popularity because of GOT and Pretty Little Liars. So if popularity bothers you, maybe reconsider.
My preference is Azalea>Aria>Ariana
