He's right though.


I think it can be pronounced either way, so neither one is wrong.


This is why we didn't name our kid Aaron. DH and I couldn't agree on pronunciation! Also, Erin for a girl was out because he said it's pronounced exactly like Aaron, and I said he was crazy. Regional accent variation.


You don't pronounce them the same? How do you pronounce them?


Maybe he says Air-run and she says Aah-run

Can you explain the different pronounciations?

And please don't say Ay-Ay-Ron.


Haha I was thinking that but no, I pronounce Aaron as "Ay-ron" and DH pronounces it "Aah-ron." And he pronounces Erin the same way whereas I pronounce it "Eh-rin."

It’s already a short name—no need for nicknames.

Another variation is where it comes out as Nomi.


Nomi is also a nickname for Nomiki.

My grandma used to butcher that name. She pronounced it knee-Oh-muh.

I think most people say nay-Oh-mee, but it’s not uncommon for people to pronounce it as nye-Oh-mee.
