[Opinions] No, no double vowels at all

Aaron is Aron, Isaac is Isak and Elijah is Elias. Aaliyah would probably be just Alia. Frankly, I don't see the point of the double A's. Is a double A pronounced differently than a simple A? I don't see the point of mute H's either (Sara and Hanna are fine) but I would not be surprised if people started spell them as Sarah and Hannah in Sweden too. Such is the impact of USA.

So you got to please yourself."
