I've got a friend named this and it fits him well.
I think this name is really cool and should be a bit more common than it is. Even though the meaning isn't the greatest, the rich history behind this name makes it awesome. Easy to spell, not too popular, and gives you a good impression. Love it!

Cool! I would prefer a combination of the Greek and English pronunciations: AHR-eez.

I know it's supposed to be a masculine name but it always sounded girly to me. Although if the real Ares heard me say that he'd probably kill me, haha. But maybe it can be a gender neutral name.

Being, basically, the biggest jerk in the Greek pantheon, Ares wasn't all that well-liked or respected. In the Iliad, his own father calls him the most hateful of all gods. Though he was the god of war, it was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, who was responsible for military strategy and leadership; Ares better represented mindless violence and destruction. In the Trojan war, Ares backed the losing side, and Athena backed the winners.
Ares had many children, but the most famous are those he had with Aphrodite: Eros (love), Anteros (requited love), Phobos (fear), Deimos (dread), Harmonia (concord), and Adrestia (revenge). Phobos and Deimos were regular members of Ares's entourage, and the moons of Mars are named for them.

Although we cannot know for certain, I would guess that the origin of Ares is based upon the word for male, for many reasons. First off, the symbol for his planet, Mars, is the symbol for masculinity, secondly, his counterpart, with whom he has a son, Aphrodite, is the epitome of womankind (and he is already an example of the Greek masculine ideal). Greek mythology is full of such references of balance, and is not known for its subtlety. It is, after all, created by the masses.
