Adrienne/Adrianne

k*princess

Just curious- how would all of you spell this name?

I spell it Adrienne but my friend disagrees. Although she also thinks Madilyn is the best spelling for Madeline, so obviously I am in the right

What do you think? 

liladelphia215

I think you are in the right. On both accounts :-)

Adrienne/Vivienne always looked very pretentious to me, even though they are just the French spelling, right? 

 

Anyway, even though it is the "masculine" I prefer Adrian to either of those.

These are two different names for me. Ay-dree-enn and Ay-dree-anne. I strongly prefer Adrienne, both for the look and sound.

Adrianne looks like it would be pronounced Adri-anne to me.  And if you changed it to Adrian, I believe that's the more masculine spelling.

I think you are completely right- Adrianne looks like it should end with the 'anne' sound.

And yes, it is the French spelling.

PP, I like Adriana as well! 

Thanks for the input, ladies

Pattypoundcake:

yep its the French spelling. OP, I guess it just depends which version of the name your pulling from. I've seen Adrienne, Adrian, Adrianne, Adrianna (my favorite), and Adriana

Oh, I like that.

I think either spelling is lovely, but I agree I'd pronounce them differently. So decide how you'd want her name pronounced and go with that.

Ay-dree-EHN or Ay-dree-ANN

Oh, definitely.

Adrienne is a lovely name! I know one Adrienne, and she's super smart and sweet, so it has good connotations for me

Both spellings are correct - Adrienne is French, while Adrianne is English. Both are feminine forms of Adrian.
