[Opinions] Arion
The book I’m reading right now briefly mentions the myth of Arion, a musician who is thrown overboard by pirates who want to steal the riches he won at a music competition. His final wish is to sing a song, and by doing this he summons dolphins, who carry him safely home. The story is told by Herodotus. So, what do you think of Arion for a boy? There’s some more info in the submitted names section: https://www.behindthename.com/name/arion/submittedThank you! :)

too close to Aryan

It looks like a nice name, but because of it sounds just like the word Aryan, that puts it in the "no-no" category for me.

I quite like the look of it. Not sure about actual usability bc of the Aryan thing, but it's a lovely GP.

The myth is mentioned in "The Jolly Mon" by Jimmy Buffett, a kids' book he wrote with his daughter.
I like the story, but not the name. It sounds to much like Aryan, not a good idea.

Ah, I wondered if anyone would mention Aryan as it crossed my mind too. Hmm.
