    Huh? [:^)] Pronounce Ariah

    We're naming her Lorelei Ariah. How does Ariah look like it's supposed to be pronounced? Some people say, Are-E-Uh, But we are pronouncing it Uh-Rye-Uh (Uh as in the word 'Up'). Like, Mariah without the 'M'.

    How would you spell it to sound the way I want?

    I'd say AR-ee-ah, like Aria. It's hard to find a spelling that really indicates 'uh-RYE-uh'... maybe Araia? Tongue Tied But even that has the possibility of being pronounced uh-RAY-uh...

    It is only a middle name - just say it once to correct people and they won't make the mistake again. That could get annoying though.

    a friend of mine named her daughter Ariah and everyone always pronounces it Are-I-uh.  She hasnt mentioned anyone trying to pronounce it Are-E-uh but I guess it could happen.

    Re: Pronounce Ariah

    I would say it the same as Mariah, just without the "M". How are you wanting it to be pronounced?
