Is this a nice name? Knock some sense into me, and quick.

Turned 30 weeks yesterday with a baby girl and I’ve fell head over heels with the name Arietty I’m in loooooveee!!! Is it a dreadful name? It might be hormones.
Disclaimers

• yes I’m well aware it’s a name from The Borrowers, and that it was made up for it.
• and yes it was spelt with 2Rs as in Arrietty but I think that makes it a bit clunky!

So please, knock some bloody sense into me. I’m just head over heels with it!

Thank you
Emmy

There are a hell of a lot worse names you could call your child. I think it's quite nice.

It’s lovely.

Sorry I don’t like it. It sounds made up combo of Harriet and Aria. I do love the name Emmy though so if it’s not your real name then use that!

MY FAVOURITE!!!

Do it OP, do it for all of us!

I like Arietty, Arrietty and also Ariette. If I have triplets I'll have a field day 😂

I don't know if it's because I loved The Borrowers or just because it's such a lovely sounding name but it's my absolute favourite girls name.

ok not too bad, I’ll wait for the more... strongly opinionated replies!
do you think it’s pretentious?
@BykerBykerOoh it is actually my real name! But short for an Em name !

Like.

I love it but dh wouldn’t have it. We then went to a kids attraction when Dd was 18 months and he ponied out a little girl called Arrietty and said what a lovely name it was.
I had to walk away for a moment.

It’s beautiful

Arietty

Sounds like yeti - a mountain creature thing
I don't like it but op it's your baby ur choice

Lovely. Unusual, but not 'yoonique'. Good choice!

Go for it! I’d assume that you were bookworms, very cool imo.

It’s cute for a child. I’m not sure if it will suit a teenager or adult.

Is it pronounced A-ree/et-it?

*tee not it

I don't really like it. It's not horrible, just not to my taste.

I like Arietta. Not sure if it's actually a name but I like it better than Arietty.

Sorry, I can't knock sense into you. I love it. I've never heard of it before and I usually don't like unusual names. I clicked on the thread all ready to tell you it's horrible, but it's not! It's lovely!

Love it.

I think it's nice

I like it

Oh god @WinkyisbackontheButterBeer how annoying I would have been pretty mardy bum about that if I were you!

It sounds like an H dropping attempt at Harriet.

I think I would go with Harriet on the birth certificate and then nickname her Arietty personally. But it’s very sweet.

Awful. People try too hard to chose u unique names these days.

I prefer Arietta or Ariette, it’s the ‘etty’ sound at the end I’m not a fan of for some reason.

Is it pronounced as in ‘variety’? If not, it looks like a try hard with a dropped H.
It’s a no from me I’m afraid 🧐
