OH and I think we have finally settled on a name, however it's quite uncommon so I was hoping for some opinions please :) our surname starts with an "L" and is 3 syllables long (so fairly long!) The name is

Eron Mathew James

What do you think?
Thank you x

Not keen sorry, Aaron or Aron would be better or Eric or Ernest.

needadvicethankyouplease · 23/02/2020 09:56

Never heard of Eron not sure I like it.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/02/2020 09:56

How is it said.
Air-rob
E(lowercase) ron.
I think if it's the latter it's too much like the girl's name Erin.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/02/2020 09:56

Air-ron not Air-rob

THAT90sBITCH · 23/02/2020 09:57

Mamabear88 · 23/02/2020 09:58

Thanks for all the comment so far! I guess where you're from changes how you pronounce the name :)

We're from Sussex and would be pronouncing Eron as "Eh-ruhn" not to much Air ron

Thank you :)

I’d just use Aaron myself

GetTheSprinkles · 23/02/2020 11:32

Reminds me of Erin, the girl's name meaning Ireland

user1493494961 · 23/02/2020 15:03

Matthew and James are nice, Eron is awful, and seems to be made up. I would use Aaron.

IckleBear · 23/02/2020 15:47

Don't like it.. Matthew and James are fine.

CocoW · 23/02/2020 15:51

I've not heard it before, its unique but due to the spelling is easily read/said.
I like it 🥰

Hoodygoody111 · 23/02/2020 15:52

I don’t like Eron. Looks like a star-wars name

DramaAlpaca · 23/02/2020 15:54

It sounds like someone who drops their aitches saying 'heron'.

But that said, I don't mind it.

colinsleftnipple · 23/02/2020 15:55

I know an Eren, Oren and Aran - all boys.

I like your name too.

sorryiasked · 23/02/2020 15:57

It's ok, Eben would be my preference though (and I'd spell Matthew with two "t's"

AwesomeSauce4 · 23/02/2020 16:04

I can't say this enough ...

It really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about the name you've chosen for you child. At the end of the day, it's all just a bunch of letters. It doesn't matter. As long as you like it.

Thank you everyone,

And Mathew will be spelt with one T as that's my dads name and how his name is spelt :)

Mathew and James are lovely

I’d definitely consider Aaron otherwise he will be forever correcting people

FakeFraudSquad · 23/02/2020 16:40

Don’t like it, it simultaneously reminds me of the girls name Erin and the Enron Scandal.

Sorry! Your middle names are lovely though. I’d agree, Arron, Aaron much better.

mytypeonpaper · 23/02/2020 16:46

I much prefer Eron than Arron. Much nicer!

peachypetite · 23/02/2020 16:50

Is Eron made up?

Starryskiesinthesky · 23/02/2020 16:50

Not heard of it before but it sounds fine. I know of an Eroni.

CLivvy · 26/02/2020 18:10

@peachypetite I believe it's Hebrew meaning "peace" 😊

MikeUniformMike · 26/02/2020 18:33

Call him Heron
