Apparently it's a very common Scandinavian name as well. More common in Finland than US.

Definitely Jewish. I would think it was weird.

Interesting. I know Jewish families who have given their kids trendy Irish names. I think this would be cool.

Do you already have other kids? what are their names (how would Ari fit in with existing names)?

I think it's lovely. Very Jewish to me, but I'm Jewish so I know a lot of Aris. I don't mind the alternative spelling. Arye is also nice.

For a boy? What kind of connotation does this name give you?
