[Facts] Re: Are Aaron and Erin pronounced the same?
in reply to a message by Ylva
Ylva, I'm with you here: Aaron = air-on and Erin = errin in South Africa, where Erin girls are prevalent but Aaron boys are not. So our version of Aaron comes from the pulpit, or from school classrooms; there's a New Zealand rugby player called Aaron Mauger and he pronounces his name Aron Major ... confusing to the foreign!
