I love Ari as a nickname for Arya, Aria, Ariadne, Ariana, Ariella, Ariel, Arielle, Aurelia, and so forth. I don't like it much as a stand alone name, and only see it as a masculine name if it's a nickname for Ariel, but it's a great nickname!

I love this name because it can work nicely for both girls and boys. It also reminds me of one of my favorite villains, Ari, from Maximum Ride. Why would I like this name if it were related to a villain? Well, (SPOILERS) He was abused as a child, so he got easily manipulated to become evil. Then at the end of the series he shows his true colors. The name gives me the impression of a strong, silent individual. That is why I feel it is such a great name.

I really like it, as it's short, cute, yet can still work for a grown man. It's one of those soft-masculine names that seems more fitting for an actor or dancer than an uber-masculine construction worker or lumberjack. It doesn't sound bad on girls, but I prefer it on females as a nickname for Ariadne or Ariana or Adrienne or something else.

My name is Ari and I'm genderfluid. Ari is a good unisex name but seems to be found more commonly in guys.
There's Ariadne "Ari" Kaligaris, Lena's mom from the Sisters of the Traveling Pants books.
There's Ari Alexander, Ava's husband from the Beautiful Fate books
Masculine and sexy in a man, light and feminine in a woman.

My name is Arin, but I've only ever been called Ari. Pronounced "Ah-ree". I've *never* been called "air". "arry" (like Harry with the H missing) I've been called maybe twice in my life. I'm a girl and though there was a boy Ari in my class at school, neither of us got teased about it.

I love the mane Ari for a male pronounced Ah-re (as in the ar sound in car). It's a male character off the tv show Entourage. It's great for any age and great that it can't be shortened. I honestly don't know how Ari would ever get called 'Air' that's crazy that would mean Eli would get 'lie'! I know people with both names and have never heard this.

I actually really love this name-- the only reason why I wouldn't consider it as a name, if I ever had a son, is because the only Ari I know is the freakiest young man I've ever seen in my life. Otherwise, it's a really unique sounding name-- it's a cute nickname for Ariel, too.

It's a decidedly more masculine to use Ari instead of Ariel. While I really like both, Ariel is much more feminine in my eyes. Ari's a really strong name for a boy that he'll be able to grow up with. I like it.

Ari Batchelder (not sure I spelled that right) is a character in the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. He is an eraser, which means he can turn into a wolf at will, kinda like the Twilight shapeshifters.

Hearing, "I'm Ari Shapiro" every morning on NPR kind of makes the name grow on you.

Actually, I don't even think it's pronounced Air-ee. The two people I saw with it were AR-ee. I knew one in elementary school, but I think he moved. The next year, a substitute teacher was taking attendence and called out, Ari, prounouncing it Air-ee. He said his name was AR-ee, but when I got to match people's names and faces, I saw that this was someone else.

I have a close friend named Ari. He is a bit of an original, you could say. He's quite nerdy and has extremely long hair. I think my impression of the name has been imprinted forever.
