Auron

Hiya,

Thoughts on Auron for a boy? Pronounced Au-ren/Au-run x

He’ll have a life of getting called Aaron.

It's a bit "fandom"
Just googled it and it's a character in DC comics and in the Final Fantasy video games.
People will also confuse it with Aaron so it's a no from me.

Every single day of his adult life he'll be telling people, 'No, not Aaron, 'Auron, spelled...' which is going to get really, really tiresome.

It's not the nicest sounding name. Au-ren. Blech.

My opinion ofc, if you love it go for it but it is a mouthful.

SORRY, not keen.

I think most people will assume typo for Aaron.

It's okay I prefer Auberon 😃

All I can think of when I look at it on the screen is Sauron from LOTR without the 'S'. Not great, sorry.

I'd be tempted, but yeah, fandom. And spelling confusion.

Says Final Fantasy to me but most people will think it's supposed to be Aaron. I wouldn't do it to your kid.

I've not seen this name before - I like it! Auberon is a great suggestion, or Austin, August or Tauren

Horrid. Not my taste at all, just looks like a typo written down.

I’m normally into these kinda names but this one just doesn’t sound right at all to me. If I was called Auron I’d just tell people my name was Aaron!

My OH suggested Tidus which I believe is also final fantasy. That’s a nice name.

I too like Auberon but I prefer it spelled Oberon (I have a friend with this name!)

I also like Aurelius with Auri for short

Not keen! Sorry.

Makes me think of final fantasy. I like it.

No! He’ll be called Auron the moron at school!!

I went straight to the scary eye thing from Lord of the Rings I’m afraid.

Thanks everyone, much appreciated! It doesn't rhyme with moron, so don't think that would be an issue but can see Aaron being an issue. Will tell OH the Tidus suggestion thank you xx

I prefer Oren or Orrin

Does it have a meaning? Like the golden one or something? It sounds like a 70s Sci-fi B movie character... Auron! Traveller from the stars!

It sounds like a new model of hybrid car!

No! He’ll be called Auron the moron at school!!

he totally will

@Mooncake2020 ooh yippee! Glad you like Tidus ‘Ty’ or ‘Tide’ are the inevitable shortenings but I think they’re lovely

Auron sounds like a baddie in Dr Who, or alternatively a model of car. ‘I drive the new VW Auron’.

I'd pronounce it Ow-Ron not Au-ren
