Ari?

[kaiajade]

I’ve been thinking lots about [name_u]Ari[/name_u] recently. I love the sound but worried that it might sound a bit feminine.

[name_m]How[/name_m] do people feel about the name?

Brother will be [name_m]Otis[/name_m].

I think it sounds androgynous but not feminine.

I like it. I see why you might think it sounds feminine, but I’ve heard it both ways and I think it works well for a boy.

Confession though, I would personally use a more masculine sounding middle name with a unisex name to help avoid confusion, but that’s just a personal preference.

I think it’s unisex but very much prefer it for a boy.

I prefer [name_u]Ari[/name_u] for a boy!

[tallemaja]

It sounds unisex to me! Though I like it better on a boy than I do on a girl, at least as a full name.
It works well with [name_m]Otis[/name_m] but I’d use a clearly masculine middle name to be sure.

[willa_cather]

I like it a lot, and I’d assume it was a boy.

I only have seen it used for boys.
