Help[Opinions] Re: Aerin
in reply to a message by Delphi_Blue
I like the look of it, but essentially it sounds like Erin to me, unless its supposed to be pronounced like I-wren, but then its not really intuitive and will be mispronounced. Plus, the nickname sounds like airy if pronounced the former way, which is a synonym for ditzy, so not a great association. Again, if its pronounced like I-ree, that's better.

Yeah, sorta like Airy and Erin imexceot not quite cause Erin is Eh-RIN in my accent and Aerin is AIR-en. So a subtle difference, but people go for the more familiar version and it will be mixed up. As a person who has spent a life time pronouncing and spelling and explaining her name, it doesn't bother me so much though :)
And yes, I see the ditzy association for some people. I'd use Airhead as a synonym for ditzy, while airy would be light and fresh and dreamy. But that would be a potential issue and a point in the only using it as a nn column.
Thanks for the feedback.
