I am currently 36 weeks pregnant to a baby boy, our DC1.

Both DP and I like name Ari, pronounced as Harry with a dropped H.

We are not from the UK and it would be short of a longer name.

How do you find it? Would it go down well in the UK?

Would people assume it’s a girls name?

And would the Harry association create a big problem for him?

Thanks all!

It's not a short version of another name.

It's a complete name in itself.

Aristotle?

Love it.

There isn't a long boy name. Ari isn't an abbreviation. It's a Hebrew name meaning lion.

It also means eagle in some Scandinavian languages.

What's the longer name?

I know 2 girl Aris - Ariana and Ariadne

Not sure what the long boys' name is but I do like it

It's definitely a boy name. It's the name of a boy whose Bar Mitzvah I recently attended. Never met a girl with this name.
