Most favorite name!! But can’t use it!?

Question

My most favorite girl name of all time is Ariadne. I’m obsessed. However . . . 
Issue 1:  I KNOW she would have to be telling people how to pronounce it her entire life
Issue 2: The immediate assumed nickname is Aria. Which I’m not a fan of. 
Issue 3: It’s pronounced (Air-ee-ad-nee) but I feel like people would say (Are-ee-ad-née) which I don’t like lol so the only way to get it to be pronounced correctly is to essentially “misspell” it. Eriadne or Aeriadne just aren’t flying with me. 
Ughhh I should probably just let it go. Boo.

Answer

For issue 2 do you not like Ari for a nickname? And also if you love it go for it!!

Answer

Nah girl go for it. My son's name is Greek too and most of the time people won't mispronounce it if they aren't confident; instead they'll ask once, and then they know how to pronounce a name that's new to them. Absolutely nothing wrong with that! Spell the name like it's originally meant to be spelled, too. This truly makes it a learning experience for others because you are not making up a new name, you are teaching them about a name that is thousands of years old! And of course, if teaching others new names isn't exciting to you, rest assured that I have never had an interaction about my son's name for longer than about 15 seconds. People will pick it up.
If you love it, do it. It's so good to have people with names that a respectable but different. Not everyone needs to be a James or a Mary.

Answer

Use it if it’s what you want and love. My daughters name is going to be Xilynne (don’t have a nickname yet)  and already people are asking how to say it. Every name has its pros and cons sometimes you just have to brush off the cons to enjoy the name you truly love.

Answer

Both my boy names had their cons, my son is Lucien, pronounced ‘Loo-shun’ and he always gets ‘loo-see-en’ but I just let it go, or correct people because I love his name. 
I’m naming this one Elias, but I’m not a fan of ‘Eli’. I’m not sure if I’d correct people or not. If he wanted to adopt the nickname later in life there’s not a lot I can do!

Answer

I know someone with this name. She doesn't shorten it and so far no one has had a problem with prenouciation. I'd say go for it, it's super pretty

Answer

People would just say Adrian

Answer

If you have this many concerns about it, I would keep looking.

Answer

Girl, I named my daughter Isla and people can’t even pronounce that 🤦🏻‍♀️ Everyone thinks it’s pronounced (iz-luh) but it’s (eye-luh). If you love it, go for it.

Answer

I think it’s beautiful and you should use it. 
I’d guess the most likely nickname was Ari, not Aria. Or maybe Air/Aer.

Answer

I actually know a girl with this name & she doesn’t have as many pronunciation issues as you’d think! I love the name
