Pronouncing Aaron

[Sessy19]

I’m in the UK, in the suburban South, for reference.

How would you pronounce Aaron? Is it AH-run, or AIR-run?

I’m not bias in either direction, just interested to know. I like the name.

Ah-run in Scotland

Air-un in SE

I'm in Scotland, know 3 Aaron's (and 1 Arran).

1 Aaron is pronounced Airon the others are Ahrun.

Well up here in Scotland, the locals tend to pronounce it “Arron” to rhyme with Karen, which ruins my corny biblical joke:
How do we know Moses wore a wig?
Because sometimes he was seen with Aaron (‘air on) and sometimes without!

I pronounce it Ah-run (I'm in Dorset) but I know someone called Aaron who pronouces it Air-ron but I have to admit I don't like that pronounciation.

Ah-run, NE raised, living in midlands. Had a friend in uni (midlands) named Aaron (Ah-run as he pronounced too) he was from Warwick. Never heard Air-run.

South Yorks and I’d say it to rhyme with Karen so Ah-run for me. Not keen on the air-un pronunciation.

Air-on, raised in NE, lived in lots of parts of England. Now in deepest Devon.

Never heard it as ah-run - would expect to spell that Arun.

Suburban south east here, too. I have taught loads of Aarons. Without exception, they have pronounced their name Arron to rhyme with Karen. I had never even heard of an Air-on until MN quite recently-it sounds very strange to me!

SE and would pronounce it to rhyme with Karen

Growing up it as Airon but now all children seem to be ahrun and the first time I came across it and mispronounced it I got strongly told off by the dad who did not seem to accept the the other pronunciation was legitimate and that it was a simple mistake.

I am in Scotland.

SE London and I only ever heard Air-run. Over the last years Arran/
Ahren seemed to appear.

It will always be Air-run to me.

To me it's air Ron but I know a few spelt like that who say arun. Very confusing

i can't resist posting this :)

poor aaron is about 4th on the school class list

I like both pronunciations. I’m on my 30s and I’ve known quite a few AH-runs my age, older and younger. I’ve met 2 AIR-uns, also similar age to me.

But it’s not as popular as it was. That’s why I like it. It wouldn’t offend me if someone mispronounced it, so it’s a possibility on the list...

Arrun, to rhyme with Barren, Darren, Karen, Sharon.

Ah-run to me, I’m from Derbyshire

I have heard both Ar-ran and Air-on for this name.

To rhyme with Sharon Karen etc (Westcountry)

I always thought the correct pronunciation was Airon and that maybe the American pronunciation had found its way across the pond.

I know an Arran and an Aron which make it easy to identify the pronunciation although it doesn’t help if the name isn’t written down.

Ah-run for me too (not far from Derbyshire!)

Sons name. Air-on, after his gg grandfather born 1880. Obviously also Air-on.

To me Ah-Ron is spelt Aron.

I have an Arron, spelt like this as I don't like Air-ron

A-A-Ron.

Or Ah-run.
