Are Erin and Aaron pronounced the same? (1 Viewer)

[chet]

Revisit Don and Dawn.

 

[eoMMan]

Yes

As is errand.

 

[Doug B]

Not around here, but they're not always easy to tell apart in coversational speech.

For whatever reason ... a lot more people distinguish Ellen and Allen/Alan    Same vowels in that first syllable as Erin/Aaron.

...

Obligatory:

"You done messed up A-A-Ron!"

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Not in my part of NJ.

Air-rin vs. Arr-rin

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Yes

 

[El Floppo]

Not in my part of NJ.

Air-rin vs. Arr-rin

Here in the city it's air-RON, with the r rolled, Spanish style.

 

[belljr]

A-A-Aron

 

[Osaurus]

Aeron?

 

[DocHolliday]

Yes

 

[Rustoleum]

A little NSFW language (I think… it’s hard for me to tell]

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Yes although I feel like I stress the first syllable of the female version a little more but for all intensive purposes it’s the same

 

[Dwayne Hoover]

100% no, what are you guys talking about

Your examples don’t work. Ellen has the soft E sound like elevator and Alan has the soft A sound like alligator. Erin and Aaron both sound like the word air which is different than ergonomic or car.

 

[Judge Smails]

Yes

 

[stbugs]

I think they sound similar. The first syllable is “air” and the second syllable of Aaron is not emphasized to sound like “on” kind of like skeleton sounds more like tin than ton.

 

[Gilroy34]

Yes, exact same

 

[Terminalxylem]

In Hawaii we pronounce every syllable and vowel sound distinctly.

So it’s Eh-Reen vs. Ah-Ah-Ron.

 

[skol asylum]

Yas

 

[jobarules]

Nope

EH-rin

AA  (as in apple) rin

 

[wikkidpissah]

did that just don awn you?

 

[WDIK2]

Close.  I would say them something like:

Air-in

Air-un

ETA:  I think they sound a lot more similar than Don does to Dawn.

 

[Jayrod]

Exactly the same, just like Dawn and Don.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Yes

 

[Doug B]

Your examples don’t work. Ellen has the soft E sound like elevator and Alan has the soft A sound like alligator. Erin and Aaron both sound like the word air which is different than ergonomic or car.

In the N.O. area, Erin/Ellen both have the soft E sound like elevator and Aaron/Alan both have the soft A sound like alligator

[Dwayne Hoover]

This is ridiculous, they are nothing alike

 

[jhib]

Nope. 

But I also grew up in NJ with the 3 different pronunciations for merry/Mary/marry, so no surprise that Erin & Aaron are different, too.

 

[[icon]]

They are more the same than different, but at the same time they're in no way the same.

Except a little different. 

 

[Zegras11]

exactly the same

 

[brun]

Aaron = air-run

Erin = err-run

So yeah. The same.

 

[xulf]

Samesies

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Just think if Erin and Aaron got married. They wouldn't know who was talking to who.

 

[scorchy]

How we do it in Charm City

 

[pollardsvision]

Nice work, Chet.

Where I've lived, yes, they are both pronounced the same. Pronounced the same, but generally, Erin is the spelling for a female, and Aaron for a male. I say generally, but I've never seen an exception to that.

It's interesting that other places pronounce them differently. 

 

[beer 30]

A-A-Aron

I can’t see Aaron any more and not pronounce it A-Aron. I’m a 10 year old trapped in a 57 year olds body.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Just think if Erin and Aaron got married. They wouldn't know who was talking to who.

And had twins: Don and Dawn

Welp, if Aaron starts like alligator down there then you guys are saying it wrong. Damn Cajuns.
