I love the nickname Arie so I like Arietta for that reason. I'm not usually a fan of -etta names but this one is pretty =)

I love Arrietty. In general, I don't like -etta endings, I only really like Henrietta but Arietta is also pretty. If I was having a daughter in Poland, Arietta might be a way to make Arrietty usable, although I would probably get rid of the double t too to make the pronunciation flow better, but I suppose Arieta doesn't look as well in English. I think I just like the "Ari-" beginning and I would like most names starting with it.

I’m a Chicago Cubs fan so all I can think of is Jake Arrietta. I think it sounds very surname-y and doesn’t have the most pleasant sound in general.

I love Arietta! I think it's the perfect mixture of unusual and beautiful, but usable and easy to say. It is one of my favourite -etta names, but I also love Henrietta, Violetta, and Fiammetta. And just Etta!

I've encountered both Arieta and Arietta as people's last names, so to me this looks like it's part of the surname-as-first-name trend. I vastly prefer Ariella / Arielle.

Come to think of it, I'm not much of a fan of -etta names in general... and I tend to prefer -et to -ette as well (and also -el to -elle / -ella).

It's okay. It makes me think of "The Secret Life of Arrietty". It kind of blends in with all the popular names right now: Amaya, Amaia, Aaliyah, Aria, Amira, Amara, Alita etc. so it's not very exciting but I still think it's pretty. I can't think of an -etta name I like more but for -et -ette I like Juliet and Harriet.
