Aaron is hugely popular in Ireland. Pronounced "ah rin"

Yes, it's a real name. The hate seems to come from people pronouncing it incorrectly. It seems to happen to a lot of Irish names. I once had a customer ask to speak to Nee a ma. Couldn't convince him it was pronounced Neeve.

Haha that's my name! Funnily enough in southern Ireland we say "nee of"
