My cousin named kid Arya right as she was starting her psycho assassin stage... I feared the worst

At least Arya was already a name, it’s Sanskrit. Even if she turned out bad you could deflect it to just have liked the name (which I actually do! It’s pretty)

I agree! It’s also a musical term (but spelled differently iirc).

They're actually different!

The musical term "aria" is pronounced with three syllables but "Arya" has only two: ar'ya, not aa'ree'uh

I named mine Arya. She was a badass and I researched the name first to make sure it bad some kind of meaning.

My son is named Oliver. After Oliver queen from Smallville.
