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

We have an Aron in the family.
I find people automatically spell it Aaron. Otherwise I like it- but I have positive associations!

Thanks for all the feedback!

Seems like the pronunciation can also vary quite a lot depending on were you are at. We'll probably rather go for something simpler then. Don't want to sign him up for a life time of correcting either spelling or pronunciation.

How about Ronnie for the baby, @JJB92 ?

It's the name of a Pokemon.

If he's a boy, take into account he might be very popular at school or greatly teased for being named after a fairly unusual Pokemon.

@Emanwenym that can definitely work. It's just that neither of us is crazy about it, that's why I've been trying to come up with alternatives, but I haven't found anything we like more

I think Ronnie is nice, @JJB92 . I'd use that spelling as it's more conventional and to give him his own identity. They can joke about fork handles.

Aaron used to be pronounced Air-ron and is now almost always pronounced Arran, except by a very few people, a bit like how Ralph was Rafe and now is usually Ralph to rhyme with Alf. (In the UK anyway.) (Or how Clara was Claira and nowadays rhymes with Lara.)

I think 99% of people these days would go for Aaron pronounced the way you like, so if you like it I wouldn't overthink it.

But if he's going to be called Ronny anyway go for Ronny?

Don’t like biblical names but I wouldn’t spell it Aron.

Yorkshire?

I don’t like the spelling but as a name it’s fine, it doesn’t conjure up connotations, positive or negative.

I love the Rafe pronunciation of Ralph. I wish I’d had the guts to use it.

Sorry-I get somebody who can’t spell Aaron.

I know a couple of Aaron’s - not heard of Aron though.

Aaron is how I've known the name and i like it. Any other spelling doesn't give the same vibe so I would keep the traditional name. Xx

The first vibe I get is that someone can’t spell. It should be Aaron. Nice name. 90’s floppy haired boy band vibes.

Depending on where you are from Aran/Aron and Aaron have completely different pronunciations. The latter is air-on/an; the former a-ran.

A do do Ron
Song by the Chiffons iirc

Byron? Ronan? Both could be shortened to Ronnie / Ron for a nickname.

I only know a woman called Aron and she’s amazing. All the males I know with that name is spelt Aaron

The vibe I get is someone trying to be too ‘unique’ with a spelling. Didn’t realise it was a recognised name.

Aaron is nicer but a great nod to Ronny!

The name is fine, the spelling is silly.

Someone who can’t spell.

Definitely Aaron. Makes me think of my first real crush - a boy from school who sung in a band. This would have been around 1994. I’d had it on my list for DS but DH wasn’t keen.

Im an 80s baby and know a few Aarons of different pronunciations. I think it's a lovely name and due a revival.
