Victor for a boy Arya for a girl?

[Onedropoflove]

What do you think? Will be brought up in Belgium.

Khaleesi is the 18th most popular baby girl's name in the US.

Oh I dread to think of the glut of GoT names that will be along in the next few years...

But if you like the name that's all that matters, really.

Victor is a great name. Arya makes me think aryan. I don't watch GOT so don't know if the connection there is good or bad!

Unless you've read the books, it would be hard to say how Arya turns out - and actually there's one still being written, isn't there?

I hadn't thought of the Aryan connection - that would put me right off. So it's a no from me. Try Khaleesi.

Victor is a fantastic name. Arya I think will date terribly because of the GoT connection: it sounds pretty bit I'd never heard of it as a name until the books/TV series became well known. I'd avoid it god that reason, to be honest - I think 2014's Arya will be 1988's Kylie.

Is Arya a made up name?

A bit... Fuhrer-ish.

Arya is a popular name in India...but generally used for a boy. although i do know one girl Arya. Not a made up name.

So, What you're writing is "Arya" but what I'm hearing is saying is "Area"

I prefer Arya spelt Aria

Game of Thrones names (see also LOTR, Doctor Who, Star Wars names) make me cringe to be honest.

I’m coming round to Victor’s charms though.

arya is a real name, it also can be spelt aria, as pp said.

I'd go for Aria rather than Arya - didn't think of the Aryan connection myself, but still... Apparently Aria means 'lioness' in Hebrew but I think most people would just think of it's musical meaning (a solo song), which is quite nice.

Maybe I was pronouncing Arya wrongly? I was thinking Ary-a as in Harry-a as opposed to area?

Arya makes me think of Hitler and Nazis.

I would spell it Aria. Like that it's a lovely name.

Arya also makes me think of Aryan (ie: Nazi ideology). If you love it, then spell it Aria.

I met a little boy called Victor the other day and was surprised by how much I liked it, quite a cool name I think.

I also like the name Arya, although I'm a massive GoT fan I couldn't name my daughter that. It's a bit to obviously after that character regardless of where it originated. GoT is so popular at the moment I think most people will just make that connection.

Victor was on our boy list (not any longer as we've already used a 'V' name for our daughter!) as it was DH's grandfather's name. Love it, very dignified.

I prefer Vincent to Victor but I love Arya!!!

What's GoT?
