Aaron

[bubblybrit]

I have a DD called Anna.

Will be TTC#2 shortly so this is a bit hypothetical at the moment!

If we are fortunate enough to conceive baby number 2 then my favourite boys name is Aaron. However I’m worried that it’s too similar to Anna?

Appreciate that we may have another girl so this may not be a concern but sense checking now as don’t want my heart set on a name that doesn’t quite fit/suit DDs.

Oh and definitely keep the traditional pronunciation.

Yes I’m not so fussed about the origins as I’ve no idea the origin of my name nor my friends/family. It’s not something I’d like about if someone were to introduce their kids as X and Y.

Mmm I’m still not sure but think I’d struggle to find another boys name that I like as much 😬

*think about

They are lovely names. It wouldn't bother me that they are similar.

Normal people generally give very little thought to names I wouldn’t consider the consensus of this board to be indicative of wider attitudes!

I grew up pronouncing Aaron air-on too and it wasn't until my friend had an Aaron (who's now 16) that I heard the other pronunciation. Now everyone says it that way.
I think they are fairly similar but not intrusively so. Anna and Andrew would be worse.
I think they are a similar style though. They are literally both biblical names.

The Air on pronunciation reminded me of a joke I was told by a friend who got it from a nun. “Why do we think Moses wore a wig? Because sometimes he was seen with Aaron and sometimes without”
Yes, well what else would you expect from an elderly Catholic nun?
