You don't plan to call a child Aryan????

[glovesonstrings]

I'd assume Arian. Like the race the Nazis thought superior? Is it a name?

[AppalachianWalzing]

'That child with the racist parents'

[Wolfiefan]

As in nation?
Um. I wouldn't.

[reallybadidea]

You seriously can't call a child Aryan, however you pronounce it.

[Pastacube]

do you mean aaron?

[RidingWindhorses]

Air i en. But you wouldn't unless you wanted Nazism jibes.

[Mrsknackered]

Oh I duno, maybe like the way Nazi's did/do.

[Neolara]

Because you're thinking of naming your dc "Master-race"?

[iBiscuit]

Air-ee-an.

It has connotations though. Have you tried Googling?

[zozozoo]

I think it's nahtz-ee

[SueGeneris]

There's one at DS2's nursery. I can't remember if I've heard it said out loud. I think I would pronounce it: Ah-reeun Or A-reeun. Am I right?!

[li1972]

Arian - welsh, meaning silver (arry-an)
Aryan - Nazi connotations...

[ElizabethShaw]

The one I've met was Arry-an rather than Air-ee-an.

Jaysus, OP. Are you going to have a sibling set of Aryan, Lebensraum, Adolf and Mengele?

Better hope they're blue eyed blondes...

[SueGeneris]

Also I think the boy at preschool spells it Aaryan.

[Icloud54]

Oh my gosh! Did not no it had a link with the nazis. Oops!
I think it's usually spelt Aaryan.
Will not be using the name!

[SueGeneris]

Crikey. Nazis? I think the OP means this name:

[SuperBeagle]

Arry (like Harry)-en.

Yep, heavily associated with the Nazis and the perceived "Aryan race".

If it helps it never once crossed my mind when I saw his name. His brother is Zaviyar, which I also like.
