Hi, i love the name Arrow and eant to use it for our baby girl but recently came across Aroha and love it that little bit more…
My problem is i would like it pronounced as Ah-Ro-Ah but the name Aroha is pronounced Ar-oh-HA. Any suggestions to change the spelling to have it pronounced with the Ah sound rather than Ha.
Aroa, Arroa, Aroah and Arroah come to mind.

Seconding the suggestion of [name_f]Aroa[/name_f] - it’s a name with a different origin and seems to have the pn you like

When I first saw it spelled [name_u]Aroha[/name_u], I instantly thought of the word ‘aloha’- they look quite similar, in my opinion! I’d go with [name_f]Aroa[/name_f], maybe Aroah. 
[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was Astro’s fandom name (which is literally Aroha), however, I’m not sure many people would think of that lol.
If you wanted the ah-ro-ah pn, I would spell it like Arroa, [name_f]Aroa[/name_f], Arroah, or Aroah.
[name_u]Aroha[/name_u] is beautiful, but you have a connection to Māori people and their culture? If not, I would advise against using a name from the indigenous people of [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]Zealand[/name_u].
