What vibe/era do you get from Aron

[JJB92]

I recently thought of the name Aron as an option for our son, since my FIL is named Ronny, but I cannot decide whether I actually like it or not.

I have never known an Aron of any age and still don't, so I'm struggling to figure out whether it feels dated or modern or somewhere in between.

Wondering what vibe / era other people are getting from the name Aron?

Thanks

It’s not a complicated spelling but it’s not a traditional one and people are to spell it Aaron or Arran. It depends whether you think that matters

I think Aaron is quite cool. Would spell it correctly, though.

It’s a name I feel neutral too. I don’t love it but don’t hate it.

I have a toddler and instantly thought of Aron, Ms Rachel’s husband haha!

Was also going to say I like Aaron more x

I would think you didn’t know how to spell Aaron.

Aron is a Pokemon if that's any help? I would use the more traditional spellings to be honest as I'd imagine most people will spell it with two A's even if you only use one.

I like the traditional spelling Aaron. I know an Arron.. he's a first class cocky, upstart twat. But don't let that put you off..

Haha! I didn't realize the pokemon connection.

Good point, I don't want to burden my son with always having to explain the spelling of his name.

I think I expected Aaron and Aron to have distinct pronunciations, but all these comments about spelling makes me think Aron is not really a separate name and if we want to go that route we should just go with the traditional spelling.

If you're going to do it, spell it the traditional way. I looks better with the 2 'a's'. Aaron.

It's the Welsh spelling of Aaron; I know multiple.

If you aren't Welsh, though, I'd go Aaron.

@60andcounting haha there are so many names I feel I can use for the same reason! Funny how you can never let the connation you have with a name go even after many years of not seeing a person

It's also the typical Hebrew spelling I think? I know a couple of Jewish Arons.

Old Israeli prime minister name

Ooh didn't know that! I thought Aaron was the Hebrew spelling! Every day is a school day.

My daughter has two friends called Aaron. They pronounce them differently. One has emphasis on the Ron. I can never remember which is which.

Aron ... for our son, since my FIL is named Ronny
That's a bit like Jadon because FIL is Donald.

I know an Aron and have no issues with the name (won't be 'Airun' as Aaron might be) but I know an Aaran, Aaron, Aran and an Arran, so it might be a PITA spelling-wise.

The vibe I get is an incorrect spelling and what were you thinking!

Im not loving the single r, but I don't really love names with zany spellings.

Aaron is/can be a different name than Arron.
I've been corrected both ways.

I've only ever met one Aaron who pronounced it 'Air-on'. Mostly it's said as 'Arrun', but I'm in the south, not sure if that makes a difference. So I would just go normal spelling, which I would say the same as Aron.

I would think you were likely Jewish as Aron is a Jewish name (much like having a Bridget would likely make you Catholic and yes yes not every Bridget is Catholic but I’d think there’s an Irish link there). I also (maybe wrongly) would pronounce it air-Ron rather than Aaron.

I prefer the Aran spelling but that may not work if you want to name him after a Ronny.

It's not a spelling I've come across before so that may be an issue for your child.
I'm familiar with Aaron - which was pronounced Ayron when I was young but now seems to be Arron - and Arran.

The Jewish version is usually Aaron - the Hebrew is nearer Aharon.
The vibe I get is
Aron - Elvis fans
Aran - Irish
Aaron, Aaran - Jewish/Jewish heritage
Arran - Scottish

Yes, I'd go with the traditional spelling.

It's quite a Biblical name, so I'd probably associate it with some religious families I know, rather than a particular era.

But with correct spelling it's classic and not out there, and not overused.

It sounds 90s to me. Makes me think of a boy with a curtain haircut.

The 90s are cool again now though so it's not a criticism. This is the era it makes me think of.
