Aaron - how would you pronounce it?

[lovelylullaby]

We've picked the name Aaron for our son, but since deciding on it have discovered that people are pronouncing the name in different ways. I wanted to do a quick poll and see how you think it should be said.

😆Only exercising my right to self defence😆👍

My contribution was to add my opinion to the discussion.

The discussion ended over 5 years ago, apart from a handful of comments when the thread was previously resurrected in 2014.
You must have had to search this thread out to add a comment, others will see it in active conversations and click on it and will then waste time reading it without realising the child in question is now at school.

Just to put you in the picture.....
I landed on this site by putting a request through Google as to the correct(if there is one) pronunciation of 'Aaron'. As I didn't automatically concur with some of the reasons previously registered, I passed a comment of my own with my personal view. Within moments, I received insulting retorts from someone who said the thread was pointless etc., and all I did from then on, was to defend my own stance.... not that I have to justify or explain my position to anyone; particularly anyone who decides to make uninformed judgements on what they believe was my reason for landing here in the first place.

...and all without once checking the original posting date...

And my reply to you, seems to have magically disappeared! 🤔

The posting date is irrelevant to the topic subject.

Everyone pronounces my husbands name Arron, he and his parents say Air-un

If you were searching for the usual pronunciation of Aaron as you described, there was no need to do anything but read this thread and whatever other hits you got after entering your search term. You would have got a general idea. There was certainly no need to add your opinion, seven years too late and therefore redundant.

Like Baron.

Air-un.

a-run

Its how its been pronounced by people I have known with the name.

Know a Canadian with (B)aron pronunciation and an American with Erin pronunciation. Both spelt Aaron.
I like the former (with Aaron spelling); that would be my choice.
