I have considered using this as a pen name since 2017. It's a unique, whimsical name with a positive literary connection. If I ever succeed in my dream of becoming a Young Adult fantasy writer, there's a high chance I will use Arrietty as my name. (Another ''A'' name I really like is Adeline, but it's a bit too popular at the moment. Amity is also nice, but it doesn't quite have Arrietty's whimsical spelling.)
To those folks in this comment section who appear to be concerned with how this name is pronounced... Arrietty sounds okay if you pronounce it AH-ree-ETT-y, with a British accent.
Consider this... the name Harry does NOT sound too much like ''hairy'' if you pronounce it properly. On the other hand, while the name Ingrid does sounds a bit like ''ingrate'', it's still a beautiful name regardless. Even the lovely classic name Charlotte has the word ''harlot'' hidden in the middle.
My conclusion: if Harry, Ingrid, and Charlotte are good names (which they are!) then Arrietty has the potential to be a fine name as well, regardless of how some people might mispronounce it. Besides, the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the name Arrietty is the young lady from ''The Borrowers'', not anxiety or the yeti or anything else.

I like this name. It sound foreign like a ballet dancer

It's sooo cute but I'm worried it would only work on a little girl or an old lady... might be weird on a regular woman.

My daughters name, although we use the spelling Arietty as two R's seemed a bit fussy

I love the sound of it, but I think it might be to heavily associated with "The Borrowers".

No - I would bypass this name

I think you might be pronouncing it wrong then. It's "air-ee-ett-ee."

When I say it out loud, all I hear is "Hairy Yeti". Pretty hard to unhear.

Definitely one to consider!

I remember reading The Borrowers when I was really little!

Pretty, but it sounds too much like "anxiety" to me.
It sounds fine if you pronounce it AH-ree-ETT-y. I'm pretty sure it's pronounced like this in the 1992 BBC adaptation of ''The Borrowers''.
