Aria

[Wotsitsname]

Now that we are long past the Game of Thrones days I feel like this name has longevity and it feels classically beautiful, like Iris or Elizabeth. Thoughts please

I don't fins Iris beautiful, although I like the flower. It's ok.
Elizabeth is a classic name. Also OK.

Aria is so nothingy, it's just air. I can't see any appeal in it, but it seems have become popular since GoT.

I don't really like vowelly names.

I don't like Aria, sorry. I like Ria though.

The name from GOT is Arya, not Aria. Totally different pronunciation!
I agree with PP, Aria is a nothing name.

Love it.

Also, I am not past my GOT days and I never will be - valar morghullis.

I like it but I don't love it. It makes me think of a musical aria rather than GOT.

My hesitation with it is that it is incredibly delicate sounding - what if your DD isn't like that? I'm certainly not! I could never have lived up to the name!

Drop the first A.
She’ll love you for it, promise.
😉😁😁😁

I think it's a beautiful name.

What does a nothing make mean?

Personally I see Aria and Iris as more trendy names than a classic name such as Elizabeth. Looking at the popularity both names have risen dramatically in popularity over the last twenty or so years and will almost certainly decline back to very low use when the trend is replaced with the next one. Different to Elizabeth which has been in the top hundred in England and Wales since records began.

Aria is fine. Not exciting and will probably be date but it’s inoffensive and won’t be a burden.

I love Aria personally, think it's gorgeous. And I love Elizabeth too but not as keen on Iris.

Add an M to the beginning and you have a lovely name.

Ooh yes, Maria is gorgeous

Just came to say @Rockingcloggs valar dohaeris

I think it’s going to be linked to GoT for a long time yet. It became very popular because of got and I think will become quite dated

I have an Aria & I adore it as a name (obviously). I've never watched GOT & only had one person highlight to me that it's a character from GOT. I've had SO many compliments on her name too. IMO, go with it, you won't regret it!

It gives me classic vibes, I guess like Julia. The other name I love is Seraphina but I’m worried it’s too thrilly

This!

Wow some people are so mean! My 1 year old niece is called Aria and it's a beautiful name and really suits her 🤷‍♀️

The GoT name is Arya. I'd assume that you liked opera or if this was 10 years ago, Pretty Little Liars.

I don't like Seraphina it sounds much too try hard. Aria is lovely!

I have a 9 year old Aria who is the complete opposite of delicate and the name totally suits her!

I think it's a perfectly nice name but I don't think it is classic at all. I think it very much fits with the trend for really vowelly names that we've had recently, and eventually will fall out of favour as more consonants come back in to fashion.

I think Iris is also part of the Granny chic name trend and will also fall back out of favour.

Elizabeth is classic.

I don't think it matters though. My favourite names are 80s names which aren't popular at all at the moment. Just use what you like.

I think it’s gorgeous and shares the elegance of Iris and Elizabeth

(but then I have both Iris & Elizabeth in my daughters’ names!)

I've never met anyone called Aria. It's a song, isn't it?
I didn't know it was used as a name. It certainly is not classic.
I don't really like it, tbh.

I don't think I'd describe it as classic but it's a nice name. It's on trend with being heavy on vowels and short, which isn't necessarily a bad thing although there tends to be more on this forum who dislike that trend than the general public.

I don't get the "a nothing name" comments either especially those saying to remove the "a" as I'm not sure how that makes it more special. I'd much rather be called Aria than Ria.

I think the GOT connection (although spelt Arya) isn't an issue unlike the poor children called Khaleesi.
