Ah-rye-ah vs. Spelling?

Hubby and I love the name Ah-rye-ah. It's usually spelt Araya but I'm worried people will say it ag-RAY-ah. How should we spell it? Or does Araya work fine?

Araya looks cleanerbut I could see where it may get mispronounced. Maybe Ariah?

I would also spell it Ariah.

Araya definitely looks like, but I would pronounce it ah-RAY-ah as well. Ariah looks like Aria with an H thrown on the end like some people like to do. Araia or Ariya looks like they would work better. Either way, I think you'll end up having to pronounce it for people when they first meet her. I do think its a beautiful pronunciation though!

Not Ariah. Looks like Aria and will be pronounced as such.

Ariyah, Ariya, a spelling with no 'A' in the ri part so 'Ray' won't be pronounced. would be best bet.

Ariah is straight forward. It's not hard

I think Ariah could work, since it's like Sariah without the S. I think it's one of the cleaner-looking options. It may just be one of those names that gets mispronounced/misspelled sometimes, but it's very pretty.

Ariah is just Aria. Oh brother.

How I'd spell it is Ariyah. Looks phonetic enough
