Aeryn Aerin or Erin

[EloisaJane]

We are trying to find a girls name and both love the name Erin but we like the pronunciation Air-in rather than Eh-rin
DH is Irish and we like this name as it is a nod to his heritage (I'm aware it's not really used in Ireland), but he is adamant is should be pronounced Air-in.
I'm quite taken with the spelling Aeryn as I like that it's longer which goes better with our short one syllable surname and love the pronunciation. It also has a vague ethereal feel to it.
What do you think mumsnetters??

Aeryn looks lovely written down. I Think if you use Erin you will get the Eh pronunciation you don’t like.

I prefer Aerin to Aeryn - Erin would definitely end up pronounced Eh-rin.

Aeryn looks really nice.

I have an Air-in as well. Not quiet spelt like yours but dh also Irish wanted the nod to Eire in the name.

Rollerjed how is yours spelt if you don't mind me asking?

Does she like her name?

I love Aeryn, it was one of the middle names we considered for DD (after a Sci fi character in our case, a pretty awesome one though!) that spelling looks "right" to me but then it's how the character's name is spelt me was my first exposure to the name.

I've pm'd you

Aerin! Estée Lauder’s daughter, I believe.

They all sound the same to me (Irish).

I think to an Irish ear Erin and Aeryn (from Farscape) sound just the same but people do often pronounce Erin oddly outside of Ireland so Aeryn would give you a more accurate pronunciation. On the other hand, every time she's in Ireland she will have her name spelled wrongly.

Villainous - they all sound the same to DH too.
If only I thought Erin would get pronounced like that in the UK I would just use that spelling.
I'm really pleased to see so many nice responses. I thought I would get told off for considering a yooneek spelling.

I like the spelling Aerin best.

prefer the Aerin spelling.

Leaning towards Aerin.
I like Aerin Skye.

Aerin is beautiful. I went to school with one and always loved her name. I think a y instead of an i can sometimes make a name look a bit yooneek.

I agree with villainous, all sound the same to me. I personally like Erin but can see why you'd use something else. I'd choose Aerin.

A family member is Erin and we all say Air-in but everyone else calls her Errin, so I think you are right that this is how it will be pronounced, in SE England anyway. I still prefer Erin to the other two though!

I've also seen it spelt Eirinn ❤️

Aerin Skye is nice

Aerin is beautiful, but isn’t “air in sky” a bit wordy?

How about Aerin Faye?

I hadn't thought of the Air In Sky thing.
Faye is pretty but I knew someone I didn't like called Faye.
Thinking of using Mary as it's a family name so Aerin Mary but would want a second middle name either before or afer it as my DS has 2 mn's.

Is your name Eloisa? If so... Aerin Eloisa has a nice ring to it than Aerin Mary. Maybe Aerin Eloisa Mary...

All sound the same to me I'd definitely spell it Erin, I really dislike the other spellings.

Eirn is the name. Anything else is made up. Air in Sky is just a bit weird.

Doh!!! Edit button required! ! ERIN!!!
