Aaron or Aiden

[CuriousMary]

Opinions on these? Not due until August but these are the only 2 myself and DH like

I prefer Aaron.

How about Aston

Thanks, not keen on Aston!

Wait and meet him and if he's placid and thoughtful looking maybe Aaron (enlightened) and if wild then Aiden (firey). I like both equally but lean towards Aaron for some reason.

I like Aidan.

Definitely Aaron for me - great name and I haven't heard it in a while.

Aiden is quite similar to the other seemingly popular -den -dyn names like Hayden, Jaden, Jadyn etc

I'd wait and see what he suits when he's born but I prefer Aaron

How do you pronounce Aaron. I’ve heard it as Arrun and as Air-un. Would people mispronouncing it bother you?

Aidan, mainly on the basis that people never seem sure if Aaraon is Air-on or Arr-an.

Aidan (prefer that spelling) for me. It's an anglicised version of the Irish Aodhán and not in the least like Jayden, Hayden etc. Lovely name.

Aaron is OK, but the pronunciation differences would annoy me.

I really love both! Excellent choices and a bit different too!
You might like Asa Tristan Angus or Alistair too. But stick stick with your choices as they’re lovely.

Aiden, or how about Adam?

Aidan

Aaron for me

Aaron for me. My only problem is (as with above) which pronunciation is it?

I prefer both to Aiden.

I also relate Aiden to the Aiden, Jayden, Hayden, Brayden, Jaden, Caden, Kaden, Ayden, Braden branch of names and I don't hate or particularly dislike them I just prefer Aaron in this instance.

Is it A names you're after? Both choices are lovely and you should go for whatever feels right when you see his lil face

I would pronounce Aaron as Arr on and not air on.
Split so far.. thanks you! At least they've not been written off

Love both but my vote goes to Aaron

Aidan by far.
I wouldn’t consider Aaron.

Aaron but only with the traditional biblical pronounciation (Air-on).

Otherwise Aidan.

Yes, if it was Aaron, it’s Air-on.

Aidan but please spell it with "an" at the end rather than "en" which is the anglicised version of the Irish spelling.

I like Aaron (especially with the Air-on pronunciation) but it’s far more common that Aiden/Aidan

I think Adam is under used too

Prefer Aaron as Aiden sounds like the thousand other Jayden, Caiden, Hayden names out there - I know it's older and not made up/surnamey but it's just the sound.

Both are lovely, would say Aaron nudges it! We thought about it for our second boy but it was a bit similar to our older son’s name. Good luck deciding!

Aidan

Aaron and Adam tend to make me think that the parents started looking at a list of names and picked the first name they came across. Of the two, I prefer Adam, but Aaron is ok.

Aidan is nice but tainted by the Jayden, Kayden.... trend.
