Just thought it was time for another language poll. Most of my friends growing up in Connecticut claimed they were the same, as do people in Pittsburgh. My family was originally from Philly, and I think they sound quite different.

No-a little bit different. Aaron has a strong A as in Apple; Erin is pronounced more like the E in Errand.

Depends on accent. They are interchangeable for me.

To me Aaron is pronounced this way, but Erin is pretty clearly pronounced with an er, said in the same way as the interjection.
