OK, I am mightily annoyed by the fact that everyone over the age of 30 says "Eh?" when we tell them Aria's name. (after some research I see that's because the name has been rarely used until after 1990).

"Ar-what?"

"What are you gonna call her, Ria?"

"What kind of word is that?"

"Is that an 'ethnic' name?"

"Give her a name like [insert your favorite name here] so the kids won't tease her"

So here you go:

Aria is Italian <- Latin <- Greek.

It's pronounced "AH-ree-uh".

We will call her "Ari" for short. Pronounced "AH-ree".

It's meaning:

1. A solo vocal piece with instrumental accompaniment, as in an opera.
2. An air; a melody.
3. An elaborate song for solo voice

The name dictionary says this:

And next time I hear "What kind of name is that?" I will shake my head, then I will refer the offender to this website. Thank you.
