[Opinions] Ari (b) (ok...last post)
What do you think of the name Ari (ah-ree) for a boy? I am starting to like it a lot.

I think it's gorgeous! I like it a lot too.
I love it for both sexes.
Love the combo!
I like it but it just 'seems' so nickname-y to me. I'd like it as a nn for Ariel if the name wasn't so tightly associated (in the U.S. at least) with "The Little Mermaid". And my opinion of it swayed a bit recently when I was watching one of those Nanny shows with my brother (who is 46) and one of the little boys was named Ari, and he constantly had tantrums. And my brother commented, 'He's just upset because his name is Ari.' :-/ I wondered if most people would have that reaction to a child with this name. Also, I used to know a girl named Ariadne, nn Ari, so I see it as somewhat feminine, too.
absolutely love it. I think it's the best boy's name ever! :)
i also know a boy named Arian. Pronounced like Ah-re-AHN. nn Ari.

Oh! I like Arian too!
I like it, although it does automatically make me think of the character from Entourage! Still though it is a nice solid name that fits both a little boy and a grown man. All three meanings, lion, eagle, and brave, are also adorable!
I've only seen "Entourage" a few times, but I thought it was funny that Jeremy Piven's character's name was Ari Gold--there's an openly gay singer with the exact same name. http://www.arigold.com/
There's your random useless information for the day. ;)
