Help[Opinions] Re: wdyto Ara
in reply to a message by Rainbow Dash
Eh, I prefer Ari. That said, Ara Calvin isn't bad.
I prefer Ara on a girl. Growing up, it was my best friend's sister's name. I fell in love with it. For twenty years, I've been trying to either put aside my usual aversion to boy names on girls or to love a name that could give me Ara as a nn, like Samara, Mara, Lara, or Arabella. I prefer just Ara over any of them, and I've made my peace with the fact that it's male in Armenian. My big problem with Ara now is that I think it would constantly be misread as Ava. That would be even more irksome for a boy.
