I don't know but millions of people have the name 'lima'

there is a handball player from switzerland. his name is carlos lima.

i think she pronounces her own name as 'aye-dree-ahn-nah', she says it in one of the e! interviews.

Yep, and I figure that regardless of the many different ways of saying it, Adriana knows how to pronounce her name better than anyone else.

I say it the way she says it.

It seems to me that when she says "Ay-dree-ah-nah" when she's speaking English she's being courteous to us Brits and Americans (who are notorious for being bad at foreign languages). Also, there's an old, old saying (attributed to Saint Ambrose, c.340-397), which everyone who wants to live abroad has to follow: "When in Rome, do as the Romans".

well said pyrrho

I think "Ay-dree-ah-nah" is much easier for Brits & Americans and it sounds nice. But in other languages it is "Ah-dree-ah-nah". I have to know that because I'm living in a very small country with 4 different languages: german, french, italian and roman btw. in 2003 I was in brasil during the whole summer.

I would agree that in Brazil (and Italy- remember the 1st Tim commercial?) they probably call her "Ah-dree-ah-nah" but she americanizes it for us.

"Ah-dree-ah-nah" is prettier.

she is brazilian and in portuguese it's "Ah-dree-ah-nah", she says Ay-dree-ah-nah because for americans is easier to remember. Also Gisele in brazil they pronunce the last e, but she always says her name (when she talks in english) in the english way

"Ah-dree-ah-nah" is prettier.

Yeah that`s how I say it.

It's like when we say stuff our name in another language, it's said with an accent. At least for me anyway.

Sure, folks pronounce it different ways, but aye-dree-ahn-nah still works for me.

After all, that's the way I've heard her say it.

well as an ignorant westerner i feel it's my duty to uphold tradition.

the name "linus" is pronounced "lie-nuss" here in australia and "lin-uss" in finland. my own name has a ambigious pronunciation, which is best left up to whomever is saying it. i don't think it's any different with adriana's name. pronouncing it here with an "ah" is as awkward as saying "lin-uss" here.

wow you're from aust? that's cool...

but i prefer the more exotic way... ah-dree-ah-nah!!!

it's like a party everytime you say it!!!

as you can see...im very bored....this is the phone adriana has now...

i want your phone

my name "vanessa" is in my country pronounced as "vah-nehs-sah" (sry, I don't know exactly how to write this).

but you always have to look where the name comes from. adriana is not an english name:

Adriana

(Adriane, Aria)

Latin: from the city Adria

French: Adrienne

Adriana = the dark/the black

I'm sooo bored... Wish VS would hurry up with the new summer catalogue...

Um, yeah, very random post!
