Been watching 'Game of Thrones' and thought these were really pretty names.

What do you all think?

Arya is cooler as a character :-). Both lovely names though.

I did point this out on the other thread about Arya the other day, so sorry to repeat myself, but Arya is too much like Aryan for comfort for me. A bit white supremacist IYSWIM. I think that connotation might come across to people who dont know GoT.

It is a pretty name, I just thought I'd better point out the possible negative connotation!

Out of the 2 Arya sounds the best.

Sansa mqkes me think of an electrical brand, Like Sanyo or something.

I think they're lovely names, but I'm not sure I'd ever be brave enough to use them as they're a bit unusual.

Like both very much. Love GoT too.

I'd never heard either before and I don't take to them, sorry.

Of the two, I'd prefer Sansa, simply because I wouldn't know which possible variant of pronunciation it was, and I know I'd get irritated by an enduring need to explain.

Arya. Prefer the character too.
