Definitely not if you had an adjective last name or a name that sounds like an adjective. All I hear is "Are ya...?" Plus, as Array pointed out, it is Aryan without the n. Not a good association to have.

No.
It's one N away from making you look like a white supremecist. :(
I love Aria, though--it's the first name of my violin--and I think you'd have fewer pronunciation (and association) problems with it.

Array, I was just going to type the same thing. ;-)
Also, if you're going for the lovely Aria ("melody"), why not spell it that way? It looks so much nicer, imo.

I prefer it spelled Aria, and then I like it. The creative spelling Arya removes the beautiful meaning from the original Aria, and in my humble opinion it doesn't look as good. I love Aria, though. :)
I suppose you could also feminize Arieh/Aryeh, which I believe is pronounced the same way (does anyone know for sure?), although again that changes the meaning from "song" to "lion," which I don't think is as pretty for a girl.
Another suggestion/possibility: You could use Arya as a nickname for something like Arwen.

As a fan of George R. R. Martin's fantasy series, I tend to like the name.
However, it's certainly a name that should be avoided by people who have a surname that would lead to a humorous sentence "Are you ...?" interpretation of the whole name. For example, Arya should be avoided by parents whose surname is Reddy, Sadd, True, or Woolley. :)
