Is Aria really that popular?

DH and I have agreed on exactly one name for a girl and one for a boy.

We love Aria for a girl and I know none in my circle (although I don't have many friends with babies) but it seems to be in the top 20 of every list I read.

Is it really that popular? Will there be loads of other kids in her year with the same name?

Thanks Grin

I have come across one Aria in 18 months of baby groups and softplays. It's nowhere near the official ONS Top 20 (yet) - #100 in 2015, which is the latest year available.

I have an Aarya in my class, and she is lovely. She is 8 and from India. I think it is a beautiful name.

Yes it is, but it's pretty so if you like it use it :)

I've heard it's supposed to be popular but I've never met an Aria or heard mention of anyone called that in real life. I think it's pretty, go for it.

There's an Aarya in my family - she is 5 so nothing to do with GoT! Really pretty name.

We loved it but had a ds. .
So called our husky Aria instead!Grin

Thanks everyone. It's definitely the name we're going to go for if it's a girl just wanted to be prepared. Smile

Lovely name!

I've never met one (I've been a teacher for 14 years so met lots of different names) Also don't know of any in my son's preschool or any baby/toddler groups we've been to.

I don't think it's that popular, I use to know a couple of Arias years ago when my dd was little, both would be well into their teens now.

Fwiw, I think it's a lovely name.

I know one born last year, and another who's about 4-5.

Both named after PLL, I assume.

If I saw the Arya spelling, I'd assume Game of Thrones.

I really like Aria, lovely name. Not heard it before apart from in Pretty Little Liars!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/04/2017 10:58

Not heard of a single one !

Littlepond · 13/04/2017 10:46

I don't know any kids called Aria but it might rise in popularity because of Pretty Little Liars

ElspethFlashman · 13/04/2017 10:44

Arya is popular at the moment because of Game of Thrones.
