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.

Well in my accent they sound exactly the same. I'm from Northern Ireland.

Erin and Air-ron that is. Not Air-ron and Ah-run.

If our baby is a boy we are going with Aaron! (Ah-ron)We were toying with Arran but we live 20 miles or so from the isle of Arran and thought it may have been a bit cringey

Air-ron does not sound like Erin. At all.

My sister's name is Erin and we call her Air-ron, or actually probably more like Air-rn. Her mostly Essex-dwelling friends however call her Errin, exactly like herring but without the H or G.

Air-ron is right

No it isn't. It's not a British name and pronunciations seem to vary a lot from area to area and country to country.

Both Aarons I knew were ah runs - one Scottish of Polish parentage, one Welsh.

Smiling at those saying they pronounce it the same as it they do in the Bible... how can you know??

To me

Erin is Er-in

and

Aaron is Aah-ron

Very different pronunciations.

Sunflower- yeah Erin and Aaron are two different pronunciations, I agree with you. What I'm saying is in my accent Erin and Aaron pronounced as Air-ron sound exactly the same. Other accents obviously vary.

I think they're pretty similar in some Scottish accents as well, aren't they?

Ah-run here (NW)

Air-un - Londoner here. Never heard Ah-run! Arr-un, with a short 'a' yes (which I'm not keen on) but never Ah-run with a long 'ah'.

Im in the South East and know two people with this name and both
Pronounce it differently!
