I had this idea that Ariadne had some difficulty to pronounce Dionysos’ name when they first met, since she hadn’t heard people speak in a quite long time and the language had changed a bit since then. So for a time she called him Diwonuso (Dionysos in Mycenaean Linear B). She still uses it sometimes as a form of endearment.
