He live-streamed the event on Twitch (which was ultimately removed from the social media platform), and screamed “Free Palestine!” as he was engulfed by flames. He was promptly transported to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
I love the name Aaron! I don't know why I hear many saying that the double vowel thing is what ruins this name. But personally, it doesn't really matter to me all that much. I love the spelling, I especially like how it looks when it's written on paper, so pretty. It's a simple and attractive name for any guy.

I like this name, but the two A’s in some biblical names can be off putting for me sometimes. It’s cool that some languages keep the two A’s, since it’s the spelling influence from Biblical Greek.

Not bad. I prefer the spelling to be something like "Aron" or "Aren" but not bad. Guess I like the sound better than the look.

To many A's.
Okay, My name is Aaron, and it is really interesting reading the hate comments. Of course, I hate my name and I love my name. Some things they say about my name are right. I kind of want to tell a bit more about myself that I am a really complicated person when thinking about myself and thinking about my name's meaning. Sure I am a bit masculine and I act a bit like a kid when I'm really a teenager but growing up went so fast that I wish I was a kid again. Anyways, I was glad to read almost all the interesting comments they said about my name. Sometimes, I think the ratings are wrong, but I am so wrong, I am not devious but sometimes I think of myself as one but it is only for some random scenario I think of.Also, I like how my name is similar to a girl's name "Erin" and almost all of the anti-Aaron name comments are a bit stupid; no offense.

Aaron is my name and I was rather indifferent about my name growing up. It wasn't until junior high/high school when I met other Aarons and thus began to hate my name for a short time. It is also bad when your grandfather can't seem to ever spell your name right. He always seemed to spell it with two rs Arron. I like my name more than when I was in high school it suits me well.
The two a's annoy me too much to like this name.
I knew someone with this name, and everyone always assumed he was Erin. It seems Erin is getting the upper hand, and that Aaron might soon disappear in popularity. Also Aaron from the Bible was kind of a jerk, helping the people making an idol while Moses was on the mountains. I don't think much of this name..
Ugh this name. Never liked it. The double A seems so unnecessary. And Aron is no better.
I actually used to like this name a lot, but now I can only think of Aaron Hernandez which ruined the name for me.
Something about this name is just...*chefs kiss*. It sounds very masculine and handsome.

I named my 2nd son Aaron. I wanted a name that was strong, quiet yet definitive. When I thought of Moses' younger brother, it seemed he had these qualities and that is what my youngest has. Quiet, but very strong in what he believes. Gentle and giving.
I honestly think that Aaron Hernandez and Aaron Carter have ruined this name for me.

The "Aa" in Aaron makes the name look so weird and awkward when it's spelled out. Also it sounds too close to the girl name Erin. Not a masculine sounding name at all because of this reason.

Aaron is in my top three favorite boy names! It's strong, handsome, and Biblical. I pronounce it the same as Erin. Erin and Aaron are not related so everyone needs to cool their jets about that. I'm not sure why popularity of a name turns people off. It's used more often then other names for a reason. It's a good name! As a nature lover, I love how it means mountain.
This is Elvis Presley's middle name and I love the name Aaron. Regarding Elvis, on the day he was born his father listed his name as Elvis Aaron but the person who wrote it on the form misspelled it and it was written down as Elvis Aron Presley on his birth certificate (one A). Apparently Elvis hated this spelling so much, he wanted to change it to the Biblical spelling (Aaron with 2 A's) for most of his life. Unfortunately he never did get around to it but he started using the double A spelling in his 20's. He told his father, various family members and many friends that he wanted it spelled 'Aaron' since that's how it should've been spelled in the first place. He graduated from high school in Memphis as Elvis Aaron Presley (2 A's), later registered for gun permits and credit cards with the double A spelling. In fact, when he died, his father ordered Elvis' marker with the spelling his son preferred and that is why Elvis' middle name is spelled with the double A's when you visit his grave today: ELVIS AARON PRESLEY.
Not sure about other places but in the south central US we pronounce it "Air-run". (When I try to say it as suggested above with a short "a" like in apple and then "rin" like in pin, I just can't get my mouth to do it!) I personally really like the name. It's one of those that is easy to read, say, spell (despite the double "a"), and overall has a strong feel to it. I've never met an Aaron I didn't like!
I love the name Aaron! It's very handsome and cute! The religious connotation is cool. :D.
This is one of my favorite names for boys. It is the name of Moses' brother in the Bible. It seems like it would work well as a middle name, too.
Nice, respectable and decent name, but a lot overused.
Since there is no consensus in the etymology for this name, we adopted our own etymology (for our particular Aaron),
|Yahh-arown| meaning "YAHWEH's vessel."This is taken from

In Italy Aaron became Aronne, it's really rare, but very beautiful too!
Again do I find so many unbearable comments for this name.Aaron, pronounced "Awh-Rawn" in ancient Hebrew, was most famously attested to the brother of Moses, who became a symbol of Israel's priesthood as his descendants continued to be priests, and he was viewed as a patriarch of the priesthood.Regardless of various translations, the true translation of Aaron can be used in a few ways but ultimately meaning the same thing. Aaron is a descriptive name, and it can translate into "Great" or "Mountain" or "Mountainous". I suppose some could even reference the name as meaning "Great Mountain", but in ancient Hebrew that would more likely connotate the name "Aaron-Aaron". The name Aaron is more common as part of a greater name, like the name "Jesse Aaron", which can translate into "God Is Great" or "God Is [a] Mountain", or "God Is Mountainous".Along with this, Aaron is a distinctly MASCULINE name, yet despite this many retards have chosen to name their daughters this obviously masculine name by changing the letter structure or even writing it as "Erin" or other such similar names. If you want to make everyone think your daughter is a tomboy or a transvestite, by all means, express your ignorance.
Jarus, if you'd bothered to do any sort of research before just spewing such derogatory slurs as "retard", you'd know that Erin is an Anglicization of an Irish female name, and is an entirely different name from Aaron. It appears that YOU are indeed the ignorant one.
Nice name, I didn't know it was so popular(#50). I know two people named Aaron, they're both in their late 40's, but I think it suits all ages. I like the female version Erin too, this is one of the few names that sounds good for both genders (at least in my opinion).
Aaron (born 1995) is the son of actor Robert De Niro. He has a twin brother named Julian.
"Aaron" (pronounced AIR-onh) sounds horribly shallow and uneducated... I associate the name with immature High School/early College male students who waste their tuition partying and becoming the beach-bums they truly are-- lifelessly. In the young 2000s the name was at a height where I called home. It truly began there, where I first thought of the name as the "Unintelligent, Blonde High School 'Hottie'"... certainly not the definition of brains. That does not necessarily mean I dislike all who bear the name-- I have met some incredibly kind people, actually. But for "Aaron" to fit, you need that certain personality, otherwise the double "A"s and pronunciation take over to end the ordeal appearing borderline "kre8tiv."
I would like to add that "Aaron" is not a very professional name for business, not educated in sound, and certainly more than a bit immaturely "Forever Young"... meaning that it does not grow well and finish the transition from boy to man.
One famous bearer is Aaron Aaronsohn (1876-1919), a Jewish agronomist, botanist and Zionist activist. He's known for discovering wild emmer growing in Rosh Pinna (now Israel) in 1906.
Famous bearer is Aaron Johnson who starred in the film 'Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging' as the character 'Robbie'.
It's not my first choice to name a son. But it's not that bad. I don't find it horrible or silly. I find it... just a little too common and mature for my taste.
For those of you who don't like the spelling of this name, you have two options. You can drop one A, or you can add the H, for Aharon, which is the original and more accurate transliteration of the name. It really is that simple.
My favorite boy's name. To me, Aaron means strong, caring, loving, and respectful; a man who fights for what's right. Wonderful boys name.
This name is nice enough but I can't help thinking of Aaron Carter. Lol.
I'm a 19 year old girl. My name is Courtney Aaron and it's really terrible. Both Courtney and Aaron are boys name and they're both so disgustingly common that there's really no way to distinguish myself in a university of 30,000 students. I hate it. It sounds harsh on the ears especially in Texas where it's (AIR-in) or even worse with the Texas dipthong (AY-er-in). Would change my name in a heartbeat if it wouldn't hurt my parents feelings.
A reply to the comment of Aaronmiles on 9/12/2009:I'm glad you care about your parents' feelings. It's sad to live with a name you hate though. You're the one living with it, & I'd think your parents want you happy. Some suggestions: You could add a first name of your choice legally but keep Courtney Aaron as middle names. Or you could keep your name as it is on your birth certificate legally & just tell people you want to be called a certain nickname. Better yet, maybe ask everyone Except your parents to call you by your chosen nickname or name. People WILL get used to it. I knew someone by a certain first name for years & then she found her birth mother & wanted to go by her birth-name so she added it as a middle name & asked people to call her by that middle name. Took time to get used to calling her a totally different name, but we did. Your choice could be totally new or could come creatively from your birth name. For ex: Nia (rhyming with the end of 'encyclopeDIA'): formed by the ending of Courtney + the 1st letter of Aaron. Or you could combine your 2 birth names into something like Karen or Caren (C. + Aaron. Get it?) & leave your birth certificate as is. Other ideas: Ronnie or Ronette (like lead singer Ronnie Spector of the classic hit in the videos 'The Ronettes - Be My Baby' & 'Ronnie Spector Be My Baby'). Or Carney (like singer Carnie Wilson). You get the idea.
There always seems to be a lot of confusion between the pronunciation differences of Aaron, Erin, and Eireann. Aaron is pronounced A-rin (with "A" sounding like bat or cat and "rin" sounding like bin or pin). Erin is pronounced E-rin (with "E" sounding like bet or pet and "rin" sounding like bin or pin). Eireann is pronounced ER-in (with "ER" sounding like air and "in" sounding like bin or pin). That said, these pronunciations are based on a Northeastern American accent.
Pronounced "AR-awn".

Aaron's quite a nice strong name.
I very much like the name Aaron, though it is mostly influenced by two things:1) Sir Aaron, a character in the Pokemon movie 'Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'. I love the whole 'aura' theme, and have watched the movie many times.2) Claire's son on the TV show LOST, as mentioned above.
Aaron's a nice name, much better than Aaren or Erin, but I don't like how there are two a's.
This is the name of a characer in John Steinbeck's book "East of Eden". This character chooses himself to spell it Aron, and has a twin brother named Caleb ("Cal"); they're story is a reflection of that of Cain and Abel's in the Bible.

Yeh I like the name Aaron but I prefer it spelt like Aàron with the accent on the second A. I would so name my son this.
If you think it's stupid that people spell it with two a's then blame the person who made it, it's not the people who named the kids fault, maybe they just like it because it's spelt with two a's. I think it's stupid when people spell it Aron - it looks like A-Ron!

Aaron and Erin are totally unrelated. I hate it how some people pronounce them the same.
I and everyone I know pronounces Aaron and Erin the same. How else would you pronounce them?!
We are getting into accents here. Those who pronounce merry, marry and Mary alike would pronounce Aaron and Erin alike. Those who don't (like myself) would use the the "a" sound of Mary for Aaron and the "e" sound of merry for Erin. (There is also the possibility of a different pronunciation of the second syllable, using the "i" sound of in for Erin.)
I really like the name Aaron, but ONLY if it is spelled that way. NOT Erin, that is a girl's name.
Aaron is the name of a character in William Shakespeare's earliest tragedy, 'Titus Andronicus'. In the play, although Aaron initially starts off as the most villainous character, the birth of his illegimite son by the Roman Empress Tamora significantly alters his personality to the extent that he sacrifices himself for his child.
It is an awesome name! I like it because it may show that the person is tough and aggressive from the outside, but soft-hearted and caring.
I just love this name for a boy. I wish I had thought of it with one of my 5 boys. I don't know of anyone personally with this name.
Aron was Elvis Presley's middle name.

Aaron is a great name. I was called Jonathan but it got so annoying so I got a deed poll and changed my name to Aaron, I LOVE IT! And oh yeah when you change your name people ask a lot of questions, some find it interesting but some don't.
My first name is Aaron, and I absolutely DESPISE it. I actually go by my middle name: Clark. I believe it suits me much more, anyway.
Aaron is my second son's name and there has been some "controversy with it in my own family of all things". There is an underlying tension because I have a 25 year old cousin named Erin and everyone says it's confusing. Some are even too stupid to pronounce my son Aaron's name the right way. They usually pronounce it the girl Erin. It can be so annoying but I have gotten over it but I don't think they have. Some in my family even make jokes about it. My family can be so stupid. In fact, I haven't said anything, but I don't even like some of their names at all. Thanks, I needed to get this out.
I find Aaron a very masculine name. It is used in ABC's hit drama "Lost" as Claire's infant son's name, and I have grown rather fond of it.
Aaron being the most loyal of all names more so to females than males is also well known for being a hero and for being a true friend as well as an excellent partner.
Strong's Hebrew Lexicon translates Aaron as "Light-bringer", and Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary offers three different meanings: "a teacher; lofty; mountain of strength".
This name can also be spelled Airin, as sported by bassist Airin Older from the punk rock band Sugarcult.
Also pronounced 'Ah-ron' or 'Ahr-un' or 'Ah-run'.
It is pronounced ah-hah-ron in Hebrew.
I'm not a Hebrew scholar or anything, but a lot of sources suggest Aaron to be of unknown Egyptian origin. If that is the case, then I think it may be a variant of the Egyptian A'aru, which is the name of the underworld ruled by the Egyptian god Osiris.
