I like [name_f]Erin[/name_f]! it’s a lovely name!
If you’re not totally sure, you might like the spelling [name_f]Erynn[/name_f] or the similar-sounding [name_f]Elin[/name_f]?
I think it’s a nice name and it would be so common now. It could also be a good mn candidate.

Erin is lovely! Very underused nowadays and has a really classic feel 
This is my sister’s name – sometimes people want to spell it [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] even though she’s pretty clearly female.
I think it’s a cute name that’s not very common, at least locally to us. I’ve only met one other [name_f]Erin[/name_f]. It is the poetic name for [name_f]Ireland[/name_f] and we have zero Irish heritage but my mom had no idea what it meant, she just liked the sound. So that was a little awkward when people asked if we were Irish.
@LynnG I didn’t know that some people pronounce [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] and [name_f]Erin[/name_f] differently! I’ve always heard them sound the same.
I met one, & she immediately said “It’s [name_f]Erin[/name_f], with an E, not [name_m]Aaron[/name_m]. I’m a girl.” 
not my style, but pretty 
I mostly just think of the boy’s name [name_m]Aaron[/name_m]
I like it. I think it’s uncommon but familiar.
I like it. If you’re in the US, it peaked in the 70/80’s, so you’re not going to have tons of other little Erins running around, but most people would know how to spell/pronounce.

I like [name_f]Erin[/name_f] fine. I like it all the more because I’ve only ever met one.
It’s simple and nice 
It’s a very Irish name, but it definitely works on a non-Irish girl. It’s a bit dated (if you want an updated-sounding name, I recommend [name_u]Eris[/name_u]), but not crazily so.
Yep! They aren’t homonyms.
Aaron starts with either:
– aa like apple, happy, appetizer, aaaaa-choo, etc.
– air like air, hair, flair, pair, etc.
Erin starts with:
– eh like errand, erroneous, ever, any, end, epitaph, etc.
Aaron is a boys name, [name_f]Erin[/name_f] is a girls name. Pronunciation difference means you know if the person is [most likely] a boy or girl.

Erin is very pretty and pleasantly unexpected! 
It’s not my favorite. It’s nasally to me. It reminds of the name [name_f]Fern[/name_f] in sound.

I think it’s a fine name!
I think this would depend where you’re from. in American [name_f]English[/name_f] they’re pronounced pretty much the same. here’s a snippet from Wikipedia ( I know not the most academic source but…)
“all define this modern [name_f]English[/name_f] pronunciation as /ɛərən/ (“air-run”, where “air” is the same sound as in “dairy”). This pronunciation is used in the 1956 film [The Ten Commandments] featuring the biblical [Aaron]”
“In its original Hebrew, [Aharon] (אהרן) is pronounced as three syllables, a-ha-ron. This Hebrew pronunciation is still used in modern Hebrew in [name_u]Israel[/name_u] today.”
Erin seems to have some different pronunciations, mainly either ‘eh-rin’ or ‘air-in’ which sound almost identical in some American accents
I don’t mind it! I went to school with an [name_f]Erin[/name_f]. I do prefer [name_u]Eris[/name_u] though. Think it would be sweet to meet a little [name_f]Erin[/name_f] now!
