Erin/Erren on a boy?

Ok, I’ve been scouting for boys names and I came across Evren as a suggestion but I misread it as Erren and I think I’ve fallen in love with Erren as a boys name. Do you think it could be useable and if so would you spell it Erren or Erin

Thank you for all the suggestions on the previous post by the way, I really appreciate it!

I like [name_u]Eren[/name_u] for a boy and spelt this way. I think it sounds gender neutral.

two old friends of mine just had a little boy, and named him [name_u]Eren[/name_u]! I think it’s a very sweet name!!

In my accent, Erin/Eren sounds different to [name_m]Aaron[/name_m], but I think it’s pretty close in a lot of accents, so that helps it be more familiar too!

I like it spelled Eren!!

Erren or [name_u]Eren[/name_u] could work. It would most likely be mistaken for [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] though.

I’m in the US and [name_f]Erin[/name_f] and [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] are pronounced the same. [name_f]Erin[/name_f] is feminine and [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] is masculine, so I absolutely could not see [name_f]Erin[/name_f] on a boy.

I’m also in the US, and [name_f]Erin[/name_f] and [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] are pronounced differently where I live! lots of different accents here!! :sweat_smile:

i like erren and also eren, i’d assume you were an anime fan using it on a boy but i’m not sure how much of a problem that would be to you

[name_f]Erin[/name_f] and [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] are said the same here, but I for some reason really dislike the [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] spelling and prefer [name_f]Erin[/name_f] or [name_u]Eren[/name_u] on both.

Perhaps it depends on where you live but in Irish culture I’ve never heard of a boy named [name_f]Erin[/name_f] (Aaron has a different pronunciation from [name_f]Erin[/name_f] in [name_u]Ireland[/name_u] and the UK, AR-in). [name_f]Erin[/name_f] is common for girls/women though. I personally wouldn’t use [name_f]Erin[/name_f] for a boy but the other spellings like Erren seem fine to me.

Of the two spellings I would pick Erren !

I instinctively pronounce [name_f]Erin[/name_f] / [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] the same way. ( AIR -in ) But pronounce Erren as “ Ear- WREN”

[name_f]Erin[/name_f] and [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] are the same in my accent. [name_f]Erin[/name_f] feels quite feminine but I think [name_u]Eren[/name_u] or Erren are good ungendered options.
I’d be tempted to get a little fantasy with it and go for something like [name_f]Aerin[/name_f], but I think Erren feels the most “masculine” of the alternate spellings.

I would not use [name_f]Erin[/name_f], but Erren works!
