I prefer Aria, I don't like the look of the "y" in the name, but I can understand how Arya is unisex. To me, Aria is a better, more pretty, more refreshing name, and it just ages better.

Arya is a decent name. I personally don’t think it’s a kre8tive spelling of Aria. But whatever.

This is my nickname, also Ary - derived from my middle name, Aryana. Out of my name full name, Aniela Aryana, and all of my nicknames, this is my favourite to use as it reminds me of the word "aria" and sounds really beautiful.

It’s a boys name. I’m not a fan of adding Ys (yes, I know Arya is a name and it’s not like Aria when used for a boy) but I prefer Aria over this spelling if it’s for a girl.

This name works very well for a boy from Iran. Otherwise it sounds too much like Aryan. Don’t promote the Nazi agenda.

I like to pronounce this name a bit differently, like Ay-Ruh. I think it sounds unique and I enjoy that pronunciation.

In Turkish, it means "A musical piece written typically for a solo voice with orchestral accompaniment in an opera or cantata". In other words, it is the Turkish meaning/spelling for the English word "Aria".

In Iran it is a masculine given name, whereas in India it is used as both a masculine and a feminine name [citation needed]. The name is also beginning to appear in the western world after the character Arya Stark of the television series Game of Thrones.

My favourite character for three years was named Arya (from Christopher Paolini's Inhertiance Cycle), so I am completely biased towards its awesomeness. I prefer it over Aria (which is a completely different name, but whatever). Aria just seems sooo frilly and to me doesn't seem all that intelligent. I think of arias from operas, all overly dramatic and frilly. Arya to me seems a much, much, much stronger name (that impression is probably from Arya Svit-kona). I also think it has a more interesting and stronger meaning. As a boy's name, I can see it, but that boy would have to be very confident to pull it off.

Arya is a very old Persian name (not Indian). It goes back as far as the 5th and 6th Century. You can find proper history of the word and people here http://www.iranchamber.com/people/articles/aryan_people_origins.php.

The stepsister of my stepsister (wow, that's confusing!) had a baby girl recently and named her Arya - not as a "kre8yve" spelling of Aria, but after the character in the A Song of Ice and Fire book series and, consequently, the Game of Thrones TV show. The character Arya Stark is really awesome, and a good namesake.
As for the name itself, I think both Aria and Arya are quite pretty. They're elegant without being frilly, and still substantial. However, Arya is listed on here as a unisex name in Indian culture, and I just can't imagine a man named Arya!

I have a feeling that many of the parents who use this have no idea that its an Indian name, but rather use it as a 'unique' and 'creative' spelling of the über trendy name aria. Quite sad, how narrow minded some people can be.

For a boy it's pronounced AHR-yuh
For a girl it's pronounced ARH-yah
The difference between the feminine and masculine is the slight difference in sound at the end.

This is the name of one of the main characters in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series of fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin, and I know of at least two girls who have been named after the character in the novel. I do not know if Mr. Martin took the character's name from the Sanskrit one or if he independently invented it, but he does pronounce his character's name as "AR-yuh".
