[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Erin/Aaron distinction debate is making me laugh because there are so many names like this and the truth is the nuance in pronunciation is too subtle for a diverse society with lots of different accents and language backgrounds. It's the same with the name Laura/Lauren/Laurie, the first syllable of which can be pronounced LOHR, LAHR, or even LAW (with the "r" attached to second syllable). FYI Lauren used to be a masculine name until Lauren Bacall adopted it as her stage name in the 50s and it was popularized as a feminine name. And Laurie used to be a nickname for Lawrence, a masculine name.[/quote] Ralph Lauren’s Lauren is Luh-rynn but a good chunk of people say Lore-Rynn. [/quote]
