Reply to: Are Aaron and Erin pronounced the same? by Ylva
I live in the Midwestern US and Aaron and Erin are pronounced the same here although I think it would more accurate to label them as different names that happen to be pronounced the same. I think if people here viewed them truly as unisex they would use the spellings interchangibly for both sexes which is not the case. Aaron is used exclusively for boys and Erin exclusively for girls.
