I love this name, but wanted to check how people would pronounce it. What do you think?

Wouldn't have a clue how you wanted it pronounced. I know an Aria - boy - who pronounces it Arriyah - but his parents have two very different non-English backgrounds so his name could have come from anywhere.

Love it - reminds me of the Slits singer whose mum married Johnny Rotten - Ari Up

Ah ri. I know a little girl with this name. suits her :)

I've heard it is pronounced Ah-ri, but when people have seen it written down, they tend to say Arry - which I really don't like. Does anyone know an Ari?

I'd think it was short for Aristotle an wonder if you were a fan of the Onassis family

I thought it was a boys name pronounced Ah-ri.

It would depend on the company whether I'd pronounce it 'Arry Wink or Are-ee - beautiful name either way. :)

If you're not Jewish be prepared to answer lots of questions!

Don't know... Airy? On a girl... Or Arri like Harry maybe, if it was a boy. Or even ah ri...

How is it supposed to be pronounced?
