I love this name, but haven't been able to convince the DH yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-this-name#post-46087 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:42:48 +0000 mediagirl 46087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you looking to have it pronounced with the ah? I'm not one to make sounds out of something that aren't there, I go with what a word looks like. If the name was Ahria, then yes, I'd call her Ah-ria. But without that h, I'd lean towards the hard A. </p> <p>I'm one who worries about naming my child something that might get mispronounced by teachers and they child would always have to say, "It's such and such." I always felt bad for those kids in school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-this-name#post-46068 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:28:34 +0000 Mrs.KMM 46068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's definitely Ah-Ree-Ah (like the music and the Vegas hotel and such).</p> <p>I agree with the PPs who have said that I don't even see how you could get the first option. That would be Area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-this-name#post-46058 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:20:52 +0000 photojane 46058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't even get how people could get "air-ia" from it... to me it's obviously the latter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-this-name#post-46052 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:16:37 +0000 MH.Abroad 46052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>are-REE-ah. It's one of our top picks, and Mr. Bee is right. It's rising in popularity because of PLL, so people will soon know how to pronounce it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-this-name#post-46049 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:12:01 +0000 tequiero21 46049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what about ah-rye-ah! haha. jk. i voted ah-ria. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-this-name#post-46040 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:04:11 +0000 mrbee 46040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's definitely AH-ria.

We haven't made our decision just yet.... but the hubs and I are debating on how people pronounce certain names.</p> <p>I was curious on how you pronounced the name : ARIA<br /> Do you say : </p> <p>- "AIR" IA<br /> or<br /> - "AH" RIA (as in Arnold) </p>
