I think of the awards.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I don't like it at all.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i dont like it at all.

[rewashed.livejournal.com]

Pronounced?

Uh-rye-a? No.

Are-e-uh? Yes.

[cherryboomstick.livejournal.com]

I think of "area" when I see it... but if it's pronounced otherwise then it's okay. Not my taste, but I don't think it's horrible.

[inktip.livejournal.com]

I like it.

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

I think ARIA Awards - http://www.ariaawards.com.au/home.php

[christhiane.livejournal.com]

I like it.

[earthymommy.livejournal.com]

I like it. :-)

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I think it's alright...I think of opera, though. I knew a girl called Arya once.

Is this like Cadence for a new decade?

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

That's my husband's Uncle's name.
(I think in his case it's a variation of Aryeh)

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

AHR-yah.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Provided she's cool with the fact it means "air" in italian (both climatic and musical), and that they're pronouncing it correctly, then why not :)
I'd personally prefer Arianna, to go by Aria.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I like it.

[emilybrianne.livejournal.com]

I think of the porn star (Aria Giovanni, I think?). But I do think it's pretty.

My uncle's girlfriend is naming their daughter that, pronounced Uh-rye-a.

I hate it.

[ex-londonso.livejournal.com]

As long as it's Ahr-ree-ah, I think it's nice.

[snailrevolution.livejournal.com]

Very pretty. :)

[mrandmrschippy.livejournal.com]

The second one, there's a sound demo here.

Don't like it - not passionate hatred just meh, nothing special and pretentious on top.

[classiestkid.livejournal.com]

meh.

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

I love it; I think it's gorgeous.

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

Ditto. Any other way sucks.

[mimicocopuffs.livejournal.com]

I like it.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

I couldn't use it because my friend's horse is named Aria and I would forever associate it with horses. I think it could work well for someone, though...as long as they grew up to have a good singing voice. :)

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

that's actually my brother's top choice too. :]
i posted about it before and it seemed like a lot of people associated it with a male, which i thought was odd. i think it's pretty.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i always pronounce it the second way--3 syllables.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i feel like that's a mispronunciation..i might be wrong though.

[http://users.livejournal.com/ksiezniczka_/]

It could be. They're not the brightest bunch.
That's how they're spelling/pronouncing it though.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I hate it, to be honest.
