[Facts] Re: Are Aaron and Erin pronounced the same?
I have this issue every time people speak my name. I used to live in New York, so it was never an issue before. I don’t understand why people think Aaron and Erin are the same name. They’re not, therefore they wouldn’t be pronounced the same way.

I've started telling people to think about the double A sound in other words and use that for my name. Baal, Aardvark, AARGH (like a pirate).
This way sounds nice, and it's distinctly different than Erin.

Hello there! You are absolutely right! Thank you .
I am an irish girl Erin.
Aaron is Hebrew and is a boys name! It upsets me too.
