Aaron/Aron

[tittletattoo]

DP really likes the name Aaron

I associate it with naughty children due to knowing a lot of Aaron's in my childhood!

But I think I could warm to the alternative spelling of Aron?

Opinions???

Really really dislike it. Sorry op. I know an Aran-the spelling makes it no better.

It's ok I'm not the biggest fan either

I like it but I'm in Scotland and it's quite common but I dislike the new spelling you've suggested. Definitely stick with Aaron.

I say them completely differently:
Aaron = air-ron
Aron = ah-ron

I'm south east and I hear them all pronounced to rhyme with Darren.

Aaron is said as air-on where I'm from.

Aaron

You are creating problems for someone for the next 90 years of their life if you give them a well known name and then choose to spell it differently.

Arun (a-roon) instead maybe?

Fwiw I really like Aaron. Would've used it if it wasn't DPs cousin.

I am ancient so was brought up to pronounce this name Air-on.

I've also been to the Isle of Arran and it was full of midges.

I much prefer Aaron, pronounced Air-un.

What about Alon?

I really like Aaron, and don't mind the Arran spelling either. I pronounce them both to rhyme with Darren and Karen.

I have an Arron

My DH loved the name through my entire pregnancy but I wasn't too keen. However, when DS arrived I ageeed to it but said we aren't spelling it Aaron because I don't want him bring called Air-ron because I hate that name.

My Arron is 3 now and I love his name.

I used to teach two of these in the same class - one pronounced Air-un and one Arran. If you want the Arran pronunciation, I'd go for that spelling.

I know a posh Arran, named after the Scottish isle, definitely not a chav!

Aaron would be Air-on, Aron, Aran or Arron falls into the Darren/Karen/Sharon category.
If you use it, choose Aaron and expect a lifetime of Airon/Arron pronunciation.

Aaron is pronounced Air-on, which is lovely.

I can't stand Aaron if mispronounced Arran. If you want to say it like that I'd spell it as such.

It's a classic Old Testament name. I wouldn't make up an alternative spelling for this reason, but if you are going to pronounce it Arran spell it like the island.

It was my late DFs Hebrew name. His was spelled Aharon? My nephew is Aaron? Prouniunced airon.

Aaron is pronounced like Darren and is quite a nice name. Aron is pronounced the same but doesn't look as nice imo.

To me Aaron is pronounced air-on, so not the same as Aron.

I like Arran better than both of those.
