Pronounced Arr-yah. If you heard of someone calling their child this name, would you make any assumptions about what her parents were like/ what job they did?

I would think they were Game of Thrones fans.

Her father would be the hand of the king and her mother would be a SAHM and her sister would be a spoilt wuss Grin

Sorry but Game of Thrones is all I think when I hear that name.

I had a friend called Arya. His father was a professional insurance fraudster. We're no longer in touch.

Her mother is the reclusive queen of the elves, and her father was slain by the Forsworn... But she rides a dragon, so it's all ok.

Actually I quite like Evander Hmm

They could be porn-stars. Arr-yah does sound a bit like a sex-noise.

There is a version of the name Ayra pronounced I-ra - I think both versions are a lovely name!

I thought it was pronounced ar-re-a? Blush this is what I'm planning on calling dc2 if it's a girl.

ar-re-a would be Aria. Arya is as the OP says it.

Honestly? I would think they had white supremacist tendencies. I've said this before on another thread about this name. Lots of people don't know it's from Game of Thrones and those 'Aryan' connotations would make me very uncomfortable tbh.

Shame, because in itself it is a pretty name!

I know a baby Arya. Mother is SAHM, father is hand of the king in IT. Both are huge Game of Thrones fans.

Like Hitler and go on EDL marches would be my best guess. I don't think it's very pretty either, what about Aria or Anya instead?
