How would you pronounce Arran?

We are calling our baby Arran as my partner is Scottish and there is a beautiful place there called the Isle of Arran which we have visited together. I am English so I don’t really know but apparently the name is fairly popular in Scotland. We pronounce it the same way I would pronounce Aaron (“Arren”) - is that how you read it too?

Yes, just said like Arr-en. I don't think anyone would be confused about the pronunciation, but never underestimate people I suppose

Rhymes with Darren, Karen and Sharon

Yes, l'd pronounce Arran the way you would, OP.

I'd instinctively pronounce Aaron as AIR-on though, the traditional biblical way.

I would say Arren

Yes, arren / maybe more ah-run. Same as how you say the place, so there shouldn't be any confusion. (am English, and would think most people in the UK would have heard of the Isle of Arran)
