I think Aaron will get people calling him Air-on, as well as Arr-un.
I don't like Arr-un at all. Aiden sounds too similar to Jaiden and Kaiden I do like Hydn though.

Aaron. My first love and the nicest man I've ever known. I'll always have a soft spot for the name Aaron.

I prefer Aidan.

How about Adrian? It sounds stronger, and is definitely due a revival.

RingaRosie · 22/04/2020 20:17

I never would have thought of Aidan in the Kaiden, Jaiden sense... I can see it now, with the Aiden spelling.

Aidan. But prefer Adam I have one or Evan.

*Aidan

Unless you're American Aidan not aiden

I’ve never once heard Aaron pronounced anything other than Arron. Unfortunately, there were a lot of Aarons at school who were naughty, so in my mind it’s a bit of a naughty boy’s name!

I much prefer Aiden.

My autocorrect just corrected it to Auden, which come to think of it is quite nice.

Not a fan of Aaron...prefer Aidan not Aiden.....

Aidan

Aaron the Aligator - in one of my favourite books as a child. Aaron went on the escalator. :-)

Aaron is lovely

Astronica · 23/04/2020 00:37

Aidan

I like them both- in fact both were on my list (dh vetoed them though). But I prefer the traditional biblical pronunciation of Aaron (Airon) and the traditional spelling of Aidan (as in St Aidan). Not that I am particularly religious!

Easilyanxious · 23/04/2020 00:40

Aaron and wild pronounce how you do but don't dislike Aidan either
Not many Aaron's around at moment I know of only slightly older ones

I prefer Aaron to Aiden.
I prefer the way you pronounce it rather than the biblical way.
