DH likes Aria and I like Wren…

[Littlemisssunshine31]

But we don’t particularly agree!
we like unusual names but not unheard of. He’s not keen on Wren which is fair enough. I like how Aria sounds but I’m concerned there will be a lot of correcting ‘Area’ or ‘Ar-eye-a ‘ etc

what else might we like?

we don’t know gender and agree we like Bodhi for a boy :)

Arwen seems a logical mashup.

I like Wren (and only know one Wren!) but Aria is quite popular I think (main character name on a v popular tv show) and I know of a few Arias.

PPs idea of Arwen is fab - I love LOTR though so might be biased 😂

All awful, go and do better!

@SunsetGirl i hadn’t thought of that but looking at it seems obvious! A bit lord of the rings maybe …

Arwen is lovely, there is also Anwen which is Welsh if you don't want the LotR reference.

Arianwen?

Aeronwen

I really don’t mind if posters don’t like the names .. imagine if we all called our girls Charlotte! Takes all sorts and all that. However I am looking for genuine suggestions that fit this style as we already have two DD’s who have names a bit like this. Hence being a bit stuck!

I know a few Arias. I can't imagine anyone would call her Area

I get that Wren is after the bird, but all u hear is Ren. It sounds very harsh to me, not at all beautiful like the bird. Love Arwen though!

I like them both but Wren more then Aria.

Many congrats OP.

Aria is quite popular, Wren is nice, only know one, I do also like Robyn for a girl.

Wren is lovely.

I'd far rather a LOTR name than a GOT name so don't see the objection to Arwen. Arwen is great.

Bohdi for a girl is also nice

I like Aria- I know 1 and it has never been mispronounced.

Wren will get misspelled her entire life, especially if she decides to study or live overseas. Don't do it. The first and only celebrity name that pops into my head with that name is also L Wren Scott (Mick Jagger's ex gf) who killed herself.

Wren just makes me think of the kitchen shop.
Aria is ok but becoming quite popular, at least in my area.
Bridie is nice and a similar style.

I love Wren!

Rhea popped into my head as a mash-up of the 2.

Most people know Aria because of GoT so I wouldn’t worry about the pronunciation.

Iris? Ada?

Viva is beautiful

I have a friend with an Aria, it’s from her husband’s South Asian heritage. She has never even watched Game of Thrones but it is always assumed they named their daughter after the character in that show. Drives her mad and she gets quite embarrassed.

I think both are lovely names but having been looking at kitchens that's the first thing that pops in my head with wren. I have a family member named Arya and a friends daughter (named long before GOT). I would choose Arya as spelling over Aria as I think less chance of people getting pronunciation wrong. Also love the suggestion of Arwen, it seems otherworldly, and also beautiful and strong.

Aria / Arya is becoming very popular in my area.

Arla maybe?
