To be honest, you have to be pretty damn bold or pretty damn stupid to actually name your child Aryan. It should be pretty obvious why you shouldn’t name your child this.

Oh hell no, don't name your child this in the west. Please.
I pronounce it are Ar-YAN I don’t know why. Anyways, maybe you should spell it Aaryan instead of that so that way people don’t get confused or offended.

As a Jewish German I am not really offended by this name. It’s Indian, and pronounced AR REE AN, not AIR EE AN. So if you’re Indian or just plan on naming your child this, please make it Aaryan instead of Aryan. It’s a lovely name, just ughh Hitler is horrible, and you don’t want your child’s name to ever be associated with him. Overall, I rate this name a 7/10 it has a nice sound to it, it’s just I hate the association. Besides, the meaning of noble is wonderful.
I see a lot of people here with very low intelligence. Aryan is a noble and strong name and white people have every right to name their child this if they wish. When I have children, I fully intend to name one of my sons Aryan or a variant of this.
I think it has a nice flow and is lovely but with the connotations with Nazis and Hitler I think it is utterly disgusting and repulsive, just avoid naming a child this please.

I know, this is not English but Indian, but it's still Nazi-related so YUCK NEVER!
That name doesn't deserve to be popular at all, especially since it's heavily offensive towards those who are not like us and deserve absolute respect. That's a Nazi name, and shouldn't ever be used in any way. STAY AWAY FROM THAT OFFENSIVE NAME PLEASE!
The name in itself is very nice. The spelling and pronunciation is very handsome to me. But English is not my first language so I don't have the immediate association of "Aryan" with nazism. However, due to the associations with nazism I don't think white people should bear this name. I just imagine what bullying a kid would go through if they were named Aryan in my language. People might also prejudge them and think that they have been raised in a racist household. It's a shame because the name, without the negative connotations, is very strong yet sensitive. An aesthetically perfect name, in my opinion.

Yes... I get that this is Hindi, but it's also Hitler. I know an Aryan. He is teased mercilessly. He wasn't born in my country, but he came over and it has very different connotations here. It's pronounced the same way Hitler did... Now he has a negative connotation following him around forever. If you name your kid this, you saddle him for life.
I know that this name comes from a completely different etymology, but I can't help but think of Hitler's efforts to create an Aryan race when I see this name.
