SO likes the nickname Ari (ARE-ee). Problem is that I don’t really care for all the typical names that could have a direct path to “Ari” (Ariana, Aria, Ariadne, etc.).
Does anyone have any ideas for names that might unconventionally allow “Ari”?
[name_u]Marie[/name_u], [name_f]Marianne[/name_f], [name_f]Marielle[/name_f], [name_f]Maristela[/name_f], [name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] - all lovely names with [name_u]Ari[/name_u] in the middle!
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f], [name_u]Arden[/name_u], [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_f]Ardesia[/name_f], [name_f]Ardith[/name_f], [name_f]Arista[/name_f], [name_u]Aria[/name_u] - all invite the nn [name_u]Ari[/name_u]. As do…
[name_f]Harriette[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_f]Daria[/name_f],
These are stretchier but I think they could work:
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Alara[/name_f], [name_f]Elara[/name_f], [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u], [name_u]Harlow[/name_u].

We have an Arienne in our family! They do pronounce it more like “Air-ee” but the “ARE-ee” sound would work too.
