If I saw Arya as someone's name, I'd be inclined to try and pronounce it as "Are-ya"
Zach
Zeke
Zander
Zohan
Zoltan
Victor Von Duff definitely :D
Arya actually is a real name, not sure why people think otherwise:

it's just extremely obscure. I've noticed a lot of fantasy writers find weird names but they're usually legit.
Arya is a character in the Aragon novels (Inheritance?) as well.
that is clearly bullshit that you probably just made up, but while I'm commenting on that, Bram and/or Gram are also awesome names that I don't think anyone would pick on him for. Unless he got fat and they started calling him Ham but that's a wild-card with any name really.

Bovice
Xavier Duff.
Fuck yeah to Archibald or Gustav. Two family names for me right there.
Also my maternal cousin's middle name is Saxon, which is badass.
Our school badass was named Blaz. pronounced blaze. If you want a badass this name gets results.
