I really like Arya but I am a Game of Thrones fan. Aria is nice too, it's a little different pronounciation though.

It's nms but I don't dislike it. I'd definitely think you are a Game of Thrones fan.

I think you must love Game of Thrones and were trying to give a new twist to the spelling of Aria.

Arya and Aria are technically two completely different names though which is what I think a lot of people fail to realize. Arya is pronounced are-yah and means "honorable" or "noble." Aria is pronounced are-ee-uh and means "song" or "melody". I think both are really lovely names. (We're expecting a baby girl in November and my husband was already set on Audrey even before we got pregnant but if we ever have a second daughter, I will really be rooting for Aria.)

And I think your average person won't know anything about this distinction, sorry.
