and it makes me think of "aristocratic". Ariston and aristocratic are probably related words.
Prententious for whom? If you like it, it is not pretentious. We should have high ambitions for our children. And if it sounds "too much" for a little boy, he could be called Ari.
I've never heard the name Ariston before, but I know of a dog named Arista. It suits her, she is an imposant dog.

I learned my lesson well.
You see you can’t please everyone
So you got to please yourself."
