Ariane is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.

If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Ariane.
Ariane is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Ariane - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 841 in 1978. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Ariane really in tune with her generation.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for girls’ names. 11.8% of all common girls’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in girls' names is S.
With six letters, the name Ariane is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 11.8% of all girls' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs over three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the girls' names that begin with the letter A, the name Ashley is the most common.

In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
