Like or dislike?

I really like Aria but am not to keen on Arena.
I don't think it is rude if she is only a facebook friend.
The name game can be very hard!

I don't really like Arena sorry. I know a 5yo Aria (wonder if it's the same one?) but I do prefer the name to Arena. If you never see the child then I don't see the problem. We have friends who have a Juliet who is 6m older than our Juliette - we were concerned at first but they have never actually met so they are unlikely to grow up close and now it's a non-issue.

I LOVE it! It reminds me of Aroura (sp?) which I also rally love. I'm pretty sure a BB gal has a girl named that as I it in a sig.

Another one who it not a fan of Arena but I like Aria. I think if this isn't really a close friend, I'd still name my child that, although I personally would try out other names prior and unless something else grabbed my attention, I'd go for it

Arena - I don't like
Aria - I like

if you wanted to be a bit different to your friend you could go........... Ariana?

[Jellyfish]

I was going to suggest Ariana too. Don't really like Arena or Aria though, sorry.

I know I child called Arina (she is Russian) which I don't mind. Like someone said with the "e" it makes you think of a sports arena or something! So I don't mind it with the "i".
