Ariadne

in Baby Names

So since we have been doing mythological names this month I have recently become obsessed with this name. Not sure if I will ever use it, but I do love it.

ARIADNE

Gender: Feminine

Usage: Greek Mythology

Other Scripts: ???ad?? (Ancient Greek)

Pronounced: ah-ree-AHD-ne (Ancient Greek), ar-ee-AD-nee (English)  [key]

 

 

Which way do you pronounce it? What are you thoughts on the name?

    I suppose I would pronounce it  Are-ee-odd-nay

    I don't think I like it. Too many syllables for my taste. I feel like it's kind of awkward and clunky.

    I love it, and teach a 4th grader with this name. However, I watch it get stumbled over and butchered by other adults and children on a regular basis.

    I'm glad you included the pronunciation because I was lost.  And I had to say it like a 5 year old learning to read.  It's a little awkward IMO.

    I pronounce it ar-ree-AHD-ne and I think it's beautiful!  I suppose I mix up both of the pronunciations, using the beginning of the second and the rest of the first.

    I've sen that name before, years ago. I think the spelling is beautiful but the actual pronunciation is clunky.

    ar-ee-AD-nee

    I kind of like it. It would be a guilty pleasure name for me with the most minimal chance of being a mn.

    my main thought is that I would hate for my kid to always have to correct people on the spelling and pronunciation of their name.

    I knew an Ariadne back in England, her sisters were called Christobel and Imogen! She went by the nickname "Harry" 

     Everyone pronounced it Arry-add-nay

    My boss' baby daughter is named this.

    They say it ah-ree-AHD-nee.

    His wife is Greek, so it makes perfect sense for them. It's pretty funny, I've seen him write it out in Greek before.

    I think it's a lovely name. Not sure I'd use it, but I like that sort of name.

    This was me too.  I've seen it suggested on this board before and never knew how to pronounce it.  I like the way it looks but I'm not big on the pronunciation.

    I wouldn't use it myself but I think it's really pretty.

    Even with the pronunciation key, I'm still not sure how to say it. So, I'd have to say that the majority of the population would have trouble with it. I wouldn't use it.
