If we have a girl DH and I love the nickname Ari for a girl. Can you think of any other names besides Ariana that we could use Ari as a nickname? (We would rather not use Ari as the baby's full name.)
From Behindthename: Means "most holy", composed of the Cretan Greek elementsa?? (ari) "most" and ad??? (adnos) "holy". In Greek mythology,
Ariadne was the daughter of King Minos. She fell in love with Theseus
and helped him to escape the Labyrinth and the Minotaur, but was later
abandoned by him. Eventually she married the god Dionysus.
Arielle is the only one I can think of. I like it by itself. I have known two Aris (one male, one female) and that was their full name. I love Ari as it is. I tried to sell DH on it last week and he gave it a shrug and an "ok". :P I really like it and do think it is too "nicknamey" by itself.

I like Ari by itself - its cute and different but not whackadoodle.
Otherwise I like Ariel, Arielle, Arin, Aria...
