Nice but Aurora is hard to say
Ariel is the Little Mermaid
Aria is lovely and THE best character in Game of Thrones! It has musical connections so as long as she wouldn’t feel pressure to be musical!

Arya and Aria shouldn’t be pronounced the same way though.

I think Cersei says ‘Aria’ at one point in series 1, but we don’t trust Cersei 😉

I love Arielle and have a very old friend of that name.

Mitherations · 16/01/2024 20:07

Aria out of the three, Ariel is for washing your socks.

Ariel is a Hebrew boys name to me, it means lion of God. How about Arielle?

KirstenBlest · 16/01/2024 20:01

Some people write tv aerial as tv ariel.

noisyneighbour64 · 16/01/2024 19:56

Ariel. Or Arielle I love

blackpanth · 16/01/2024 19:56

Just to add its my daughters name

blackpanth · 16/01/2024 19:54

Aurora. My son is not even 2 and can pronounce it just fine

Ellmau · 16/01/2024 19:36

I prefer Aurora - or Aurelia.

Smartiepants79 · 16/01/2024 19:31

I wouldn’t choose them as I wouldn’t name my child after a Disney princess. They’re pretty but I just wouldn’t do it.
Aria is nice.

KatyPerryMenopause · 16/01/2024 19:29

Not keen on Aria although I like Ari/NN for Ariana
Ariel is not as nice as Aurora in my book but I quite like Rory as a nn for a teen girl. Ariadne is gaining popularity but not with me although I like Sylvie, Effie and Elfie.

MerryMarigold · 16/01/2024 19:28

I like Aria. Don't know of any.

AQuantityOfNaughtyCats · 16/01/2024 19:27

Moana or Pocahontas.

KatyPerryMenopause · 16/01/2024 19:26

Aurélia is beautiful as is its meaning "golden"

Brendan Cole's little girl has that name and a brother Danté.

Some MNetters think Aurelia is too close to aureole/areola or that Aurelie is too close to orally. These MNetters are wrong! Wink

StrawberryPavlova · 16/01/2024 19:16

Aurelia. Best of both worlds.

coldcallerbaiter · 16/01/2024 19:15

Arya too, But Aria is the best out of your 3

HellsToilet · 16/01/2024 19:14

Aurora. Aria is over used and Ariel is a boy's name usually.

SirChenjins · 16/01/2024 19:13

Are you a big Disney fan?!

Neither of them.

Appleass · 16/01/2024 19:11

neither!

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 16/01/2024 19:09

Aurelia?

Razorflight · 16/01/2024 19:02

I like Aurora. I know one who is known as Rory.
Athena is quite nice too.
what about Alannah-not many of them at the moment

letitialane · 16/01/2024 18:58

Ariel

ReadtheReviews · 16/01/2024 18:34

Ariel for a change. Heard quite a few Auroras lately.

Samzzz · 16/01/2024 18:32

I’d go with Ariel it’s a lovely name. Another option could be Auriol?
Aurora and Aria are both nice but too popular for me.

KirstenBlest · 16/01/2024 17:51

Aria is the best of the three but it's popular and nothingy.
Ariel looks masculine
Aurora is too many Rs

The look nice but are too disney princess
