ABRiANNA EMERALD???

To be honest, I am not a huge fan.

Abrianna- I think this sounds very trendy. I do really like the similar names Aubrey, Audrey, Audriana, Adrienne, and Audra. Abrianna just doesn't have the same feminine, pretty feel that they others do. It sounds rather heavy. I would pronounce it ah-bree-ann-uh. (as in the first syllable like the beginning of "off")

I am not a fan of word names at all, and Emerald seems cheesy to me. Unless it has some sort of personal reference, I would look for something different. Firstly, I think mn's are there to honour someone or something important in your life, not to just pick a random name that sounds nice. So I would search for a family name or some significant to put in the mn.

As for the first name, I gave you some other choices to consider, but here are some more. Abrianna seems trendy to me, so these are more modern or popular names without being trendy.

Mia

Adeline/Adelaide/Adelaine/Adele

Carlen

Taryn

Georgia

Ruby (a nice replacement for Emerald)

Sienna

Lola

Emery

Calla

Della

Celeste

Karina

Cambria

Violet

Shea

Sage

Brooke

Audra

Stella

I'm going to be very honest. Abrianna Emerald is a little to much for me. I like Arianna and Brianna seperatly, Abrianna is made up. I would say it Ab(as in abraham) RE-AH-NA....So pretty much Brianna with AB in front. Its not my style at all.

I agree with that pronunciation. It does sound a little flashy... If you really like it, maybe choose one Abrianna and a different mn, or Emerald and a different fn. I think that would work better for you.

I would prefer Adrianna Emerald because otherwise she will have to repeat her name, "No it's ah BREE ahn uh."

I would assume it is pronounced AH BREE AHN UH.

HOWEVER, my nice is Adriana. I pronounce it ODD REE ON UH. Her mother pronounces it AY DREE ANNE UH. Her nickname is Addy, which I don't care for.

I like it. I don't think it is too complicated at all. I also think the middle name is very pretty. They sound good together!

Sorry to be rude, but if you, the mother, aren't sure how to pronounce your baby's name, should you really burden your child with that name???

Just so you know, when you type in all caps it makes it seem as if you are yelling... (and it is kind of annoying to read).

Thanks
