Already have an Arthur and due baby girl soon. I love the name Aria, but i'm worried that it's too similar to Arthur! What do you think? Are they too similar sounding? If so, any name suggestions?! Thanks xx

Ah. Ok. I'd stick with Anya. Still a bit matchy matchy.

Ania is just a different spelling of Anya. Ania is more common where I live - I think it's the Polish version (and there are lots of Polish people in my area)

I've not seen the name Ania before - did you mean Anya? I think Aria is a bit too airy (pun intended) and lacking in substance.

Second pp above - I adore Ania, and think it goes really well Arthur.

I love Matilda with Arthur too.

What about Ania? V similar but not like Arthur?

I don't like Aria very much. I think in terms of sound it is too similar to Arthur, but in terms of the 'style' of name it is too different - it's not a classic name.

Arthur is a royal name! Aria is a bit more faddy.

I think (old Queen) names like Matilda, Eleanor and Elizabeth go much better with Arthur.

I'm not keen on Aria and it does sound a bit similar. Fine if you love it, but I feel it's a name that has become popular quite suddenly and will at some point sound dated.
