I love this name, but wanted to check how people would pronounce it. What do you think?

My first thought was it's Japanese. Pronounced ah ree.

But it looks like it is a name in lots of languages: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ari_(name), just none of them English!

Ah ree.

I would think Entourage too blind. Love him.

If you're not into foul mouthed sarcasm probably best to avoid watching OP.

For a boy or girl?

I would pronounce Ah-ri, but that's because it's a name in my native language (Dutch, although it'd be spelled Arie) and pronounced like that. Common in Finland as Ari too, I think.

Marmon, it's a very common Jewish name for boys. I work for a company with a Israel office, and we have a lot of Aris.

It's apparently short for Ariel.

Marmon, we have even more Ariels in my company! It's probably right what is short for in Israel.

Love for both genders
