What do you think of this for a girl? Alternatives are Ariana or Arianne with Aria for short.

Love it! I would have called my child Aria if I'd had a girl (had a boy) because of PLL. I love it. Subsequently my sons middle name is one of the lead characters from criminal minds so I'm all with the naming after TV shows.

I think it's gorgeous, as are Ariana & Arianne.

I love the name Aria, I have done for a very long time.

I had good friend at school who was called Aria (her mother was a classical musician so it was very fitting, both her DDs had musical related names) and I always loved her name.

If DS had been a girl it would have been his name.

However, I dislike how popular it's become thanks to the pretty little liars tv show and GOT and how it will always now be associated with those shows/characters rather than it's musical meaning.

I would pronounce A-riah. I see what you mean about Ariana.

an Aria is a piece of music I believe - part of an opera? I'm less keen on Aria is is arrr-ee-ah, or is it Ar-i-ah?), but really love Arianne. If you have Ariana, you will get either Ari-Ah-na, or Ari-an-na (depending on where you live) which you may or may not like.
Good luck!

I love the name aria. The only negative connotations would be that it is currently used in pretty little liars and game of thrones (although spelt arya)
