I lost my both parents at the terrible car accident and got a horrible depression. In my depression I figured out I’m pregnant and my mental health wasn’t great. But but family supported me especially my brother. When I found out the baby is a boy, I couldn’t think about any names until my husband said hey! You loved the name Ariel right? Honestly I was really worried cause it’s now known more as a girls name but my son was born healthy and my mom adored lions. I’m still working on my mental health but my son, Ariel, became my lion who fights with my dark demons when he’s with me. Reply Bianca Jan 29 at 11:12 am I love this name! Ariel is really fits for a boy and I don’t care if some people still think it’s that mermaid character’s name. Ariel sounds so good and the nickname Ari is amazing! Ariella and Arielle are much better chose for girls. Reply ilovemymomi! Dec 25 at 1:37 pm Ariel was popular as a male name, though it’s more female now. It’s a Hebrew male name that is now unisex. Reply Liza Sep 2 at 1:23 am I love this name! Fortunately I’m not living in US or Canada because there people choose it for their girls ( which sounds stupid ) His full name is Ariel William Daniels. Reply Dolores Mar 11 at 1:56 am He is perfect! Reply Noemí Aug 16 at 10:44 am I chose to name my baby Ariel because i love the meaning Ariel means lion of God. And it goes perfect with hes middle name that’s Isai. Reply glory Jun 14 at 5:13 am I choose the name because Angel is called Ariel too Reply Charlotte Apr 11 at 2:10 pm Ariel was a boy’s name way before the little mermaid but it’s usually seen as feminine. As a society we’ve decided it’s cool to have masculine names for girls. I think we could use more of the feminine. Women and girls are allowed and encouraged to display “masculine” traits; we need to allow and celebrate men and boys who have traits traditionally seen as feminine.
