Hiya,

Thoughts on Auron for a boy? Pronounced Au-ren/Au-run x

Makes me think of final fantasy. I like it.

Not keen! Sorry.

I’m normally into these kinda names but this one just doesn’t sound right at all to me. If I was called Auron I’d just tell people my name was Aaron!

My OH suggested Tidus which I believe is also final fantasy. That’s a nice name.

I too like Auberon but I prefer it spelled Oberon (I have a friend with this name!)

I also like Aurelius with Auri for short Smile

Horrid. Not my taste at all, just looks like a typo written down.

MintyMurray17 · 06/05/2020 03:46

I've not seen this name before - I like it! Auberon is a great suggestion, or Austin, August or Tauren Smile

Says Final Fantasy to me but most people will think it's supposed to be Aaron. I wouldn't do it to your kid.

safariboot · 06/05/2020 02:14

I'd be tempted, but yeah, fandom. And spelling confusion.

DramaAlpaca · 06/05/2020 02:13

All I can think of when I look at it on the screen is Sauron from LOTR without the 'S'. Not great, sorry.

babynamelover · 06/05/2020 02:13

It's okay I prefer Auberon 😃

Headbangersandmash · 06/05/2020 02:12

I think most people will assume typo for Aaron.

Wheresthebiffer2 · 06/05/2020 02:10

SORRY, not keen.

whatausername · 06/05/2020 02:04

It's not the nicest sounding name. Au-ren. Blech.

My opinion ofc, if you love it go for it but it is a mouthful.

Pickles89 · 06/05/2020 02:03

Every single day of his adult life he'll be telling people, 'No, not Aaron, 'Auron, spelled...' which is going to get really, really tiresome.

It's a bit "fandom"
Just googled it and it's a character in DC comics and in the Final Fantasy video games.
People will also confuse it with Aaron so it's a no from me.

Hopkinsscar · 06/05/2020 01:50

He’ll have a life of getting called Aaron.
