The name sounds too gender neutral for my taste. Although that spelling is deffinately feminine, if I heard someone talking about "Adrienne" I wouldn't assume it was a girl.
One of my favorites. My SO and I have considered using it but have pretty much decided that because I have a super close friend named Adrienne it would be cute but confusing.
I have no choice but to like it, since it's my name ;)
actually, I hated it as a kid because I had awkwardness with the 'r' in the middle, but everyone was always like "oh, that's a pretty name" and I wasn't sure how to respond to that.
I grew to like it as I got older, got over my pronounciation awkwardnes, and realized it's a fairly uncommon name and just a bit exotic at that. and I have to agree now with everyone who told me my whole life "that's a pretty name"!

Maybe Joey for Josephine?
