Thoughts on Aeron?
Welsh 'unisex' name. Not quite sure which gender I prefer it on-maybe as unisex but I think it depends on the pronounciation.Ay-rin: females. More feminine in my opinion
Eye-rin: definitely for maleSo...what are your thoughts and how would you pronounce it?

I like it a lot. I prefer Aeron on a boy and Aerona on a girl (I also like Aerin on a girl). I'd pronounce it more like Ay-rin either way.

In North Wales it's pronounced somewhere between EYE-ron and AY-ron. It's not very common, and I've only ever seen it on boys. It's okay. I think I prefer Aron.

I find Aeron more masculine, because of the character Aeron Greyjoy in A Song of Ice and Fire -series. I pronounce it as E:-ron (like a mix of Erin and Aaron).

I like it. I think it could work on either gender, and either pronunciation could work for either gender, too. If I were to use it, I'd probably use it for a girl, however, since I associate the Ae with more female names. And I would pronounce it like Aaron because I know that's how everyone else where I am would, even though that's not the "real" pron., which is also lovely, btw.

I want to like it. I love the meaning. But I'd say it exactly like Erin/Aaron (which I say identically), so ultimately it is kind of boring. :(
