    	I think it's beautiful!  If I didn't already have one
    	picked out, I'd take it. (; Just kiddin'! (8
    
    	And I agree with you, Joel, Aria is a name if you choose
    	to give it to someone.
    
    	Look at it this way, do you honestly think Dweezil or
    	Moon Unit (Zappa) were actual "names" until Frank used
    	them?! (:

|  |     Hi,
    
    Aria is a very pretty name.  It has a meaning in the English language
    as:                
    
    a*ri*a (ar'e'a)
    
     " A solo vocal piece with instrumental accompaniment, as in an
       opera.  [Ital. < Lat. aer, air]
                              
    Rather a pretty definition in my opinion.

| 640.3 | Go for Aria | STEREO::FAHEL | Amalthea Celebras | Wed Jan 30 1991 15:21 | 9 | 
|  |     I can't remember when, but I do remember seeing Aria used as a name
    before.  Go for it!  Think of other musical names that ARE used
    (Melody, Harmony)
    
    K.C.
    
    P.S.  Dweezil Zappa is NOT his real name...it is a nickname.  I saw his
    REAL name once (but I can't remember it off-hand).  Moon Unit,
    however...

| 640.4 | nice | CNTROL::STOLICNY |  | Wed Jan 30 1991 15:32 | 11 | 
|  |     Aria is very pretty.  As far as whether its "a name" or not,
    well, it will be for this little baby!   I think there's quite
    a few names being used of late of unclear origin; it doesn't
    make them any less beautiful or fitting to the person who 
    carries them.
    
    I have heard of both Arianne and Arianna - can you find either of
    those in a baby name book?  (see also note 214)  Maybe Aria is  
    a derivative of those names...

|  |     Well, my uncle's sister's name is Aria, and she's in her 60's, so I'd
    say it's a name that's been around a while.  I've always thought it was
    a very pretty name.  If you like it, go ahead and use it.

    Glad to see such positive responses!
    
    [addressed to she who asked to have this topic entered]
    
    I rest my case.  Name her Aria and know that she will
    always have a song, if not in her heart, at least
    in her name!

     Joel,
     
     What a nice thought!  I believe your shy, noter friend is very lucky
     to have a friend like you.  By the way, I also think Aria is a lovely
     name for a little girl.  But what's even more important, is that it's
     also a nice name for an adult.  Remember mom, they're not babies
     forever, unfortunately.  As for it being a "real name" or not, I vote
     with everyone else.  Congratulations...
    
     - Kathryn

    Well, I was out with a sick "baby" yesterday (almost four)
    but here I am saying thanks for your input.  My friend
    seems convinced now that Aria is a good choice!

	I also think that Aria is a beautiful name.  Wasn't that the name
	of the mermaid in the Walt Disney movie, "The Little Mermaid"?

    My 3 1/2 year-old has the movie and I have unfortunately
    seen it many, many times.  Her name is Ariel.
    
    But she sings!
