We have decided to name our daughter Aria/Ariya but we are unsure on how we will spell it (pn A-ree-a) We prefer the sp ARIYA but are thinking people may mispronounce it? Which sp do you prefer and would you pn them bith as A-REE-A? x

Arya as in Stark.

Don't like your two spellings.

My first instinct was to pronounce Aria as "Ahh-re-ya" (as in an opera), and for Ariya I would guess "A-rye-a".

I'd pronounce Aria as A-ree-a but might possibly pronounce Ariya as a-REE-a.

Ariya is unnecessarily fussy.
