Okay...I am so confused. We have narrowed the names we like down to 2. Please help us decide. The choices are: Ariel, and Ariana.

We r having lots of trouble picking a middle name for either. My great-grandma's name was Catherine, which I would like to use & my boyfriend asked me how I like "Angela". (That was his aunt's name who was killed in a car crash). Which one would you use for either first name??? In a way, they sound like they don't go together but, I am thinking about this way too much. Please HELP!!!

THANX, SKATERJEMS

I think Ariel Angela sounds okay, and Ariana Catherine sounds okay; but, you're right, none of the combos are terrific. Would you be amenable to altering the middle names slightly? What abou Ariel Caterina? or Ariana Angelique?

I'm sure it would mean a lot to your dh to honor his aunt, but I have to say that I like the flow of both of your first name choices with Catherine much better. I think Ariel Angela and Ariana Angela are a mouthful. I also LOVE Catherine and think it's one of those names that goes well with almost any fn.
Good luck!

I like Ariana Catherine. Ariel is pretty too, but I just can't get past the Little Mermaid association. I agree that Angela with either of these choices is too much.

I love the Ariel Catherine combo. Angela is too rhymey with either names and I prefer Ariel over Ariana. Ariel seems spunky and different to me where Ariana seems trendy. Ariel Catherine is a gorgeous choice.

I like either name with Catherine but I agree that Angela does not go well with them. If you really wanted to use Angela you could go Angela Catherine. I really like Ariel and Ariana. Hard for me to choose which I like best. With Catherine I think Ariana goes best but Ariel definately would work.

in our extended fam there is an Arielle and an Arianna. I much prefer Arianna/Ariana though!

Ariana Catherine
Ariana Angela

both sound and look nice.

what about Ariana Angel-Kate? or use two middles Ariana Catherine Angela or Ariana Angela Catherine.

good luck!

I don't like either first name, but if I have to choose one, then Ariana. With Ariana, Angela sounds a little funny, so I guess my vote is Ariana Catherine.

My real vote would be for Angela Catherine, perhaps nicknamed Annie, or Catherine Angela, nn Cate.
