How would you pronounce Aryan?

[Icloud54]

Thank you

Arry-Ann

Generally pronounced AR-Y-EN

Arry-Ann

You don't plan to call a child Aryan????

I'd assume Arian. Like the race the Nazis thought superior? Is it a name?

'That child with the racist parents'

As in nation?
Um. I wouldn't.

You seriously can't call a child Aryan, however you pronounce it.

do you mean aaron?

Air i en. But you wouldn't unless you wanted Nazism jibes.

Oh I duno, maybe like the way Nazi's did/do.

Because you're thinking of naming your dc "Master-race"?

Air-ee-an.

It has connotations though. Have you tried Googling?

I think it's nahtz-ee

There's one at DS2's nursery. I can't remember if I've heard it said out loud. I think I would pronounce it: Ah-reeun Or A-reeun. Am I right?!

Arian - welsh, meaning silver (arry-an)
Aryan - Nazi connotations...

The one I've met was Arry-an rather than Air-ee-an.

😮

Jaysus, OP. Are you going to have a sibling set of Aryan, Lebensraum, Adolf and Mengele?

Better hope they're blue eyed blondes...

Also I think the boy at preschool spells it Aaryan.

Oh my gosh! Did not no it had a link with the nazis. Oops!
I think it's usually spelt Aaryan.
Will not be using the name!

Crikey. Nazis? I think the OP means this name:

Arry (like Harry)-en.

Yep, heavily associated with the Nazis and the perceived "Aryan race".

If it helps it never once crossed my mind when I saw his name. His brother is Zaviyar, which I also like.
