Help me decide between two names

[STIGZ]

I like these names but dont know which one i like best ?

The names are :

Arra (ah-ra)

Arys (ah-riss)

Arys sounds like cockney rhyming slang.

But i probably still prefer it.

I prefer Arra. Both pretty though.

Round these parts, arys is another word for arse......

Are the boy or girl names?
Arra is the best out of the two but both are not great.

I'm trying to think of a way to put this politely OP, but those names are not good!

You can't go with Arys - you will effectively be calling a child arse, especially once at school.

The other is not so bad but Ah-ra isn't nice to me, and in fact everyone will think it is 'a'-ra.

Go for Arra if you must have one, but I'm sorry to say I'd suggest rethinking.

ps. Have you thought about Sara?

Arys, both are nice but I think more people will know how to say that one.

Arra. It's pretty. I just said Arys out loud and with my Aussie drawl it definitely sounded like arse.

Best of a bad bunch is Arra but they are both pretty dire IMO. Sorry OP.

Definitely not Arys, you'd be calling your baby Arse!

Arys is the name of an old French perfume company, and a railway-industry town in Kazakhstan. It does not sound good in English, for reasons already given.

I'm sorry, but to me Arra either sounds like a cough or, in (eg) a Scottish accent with rolled 'rrs', rather like a dog growling. ARRA is the acronym of a famous American economic law.
On the other hand, if it helps, the Internet says that Ara is used as a name in some countries: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ara And it's the name of a lovely constellation (Ara=the altar).

There is also Carys (= beloved in Welsh), or Arya (=noble in Sanskrit). Both are nice names.

Arys.
