I feel like my mouth is in slightly different positions for Aaron and Erin, but I'm not sure if the sound is different enough to notice.
A voice and articulation class in undergrad taught me to differentiate between pen/pin and ten/tin.
My parents have two robin's nests on their house and have enjoyed sitting on their deck and talking to the robin parents. They're a little upset with the crow that raided the nests right after the chicks hatched.
The first syllable of Aaron and Erin sound the same coming from me, except it is longer when I say Aaron.
I don't pronounce the initial vowels in Aaron and Erin differently, but the o and i are definitely two separate sounds.
Yeah, I maybe think the first syllables are different but I'm pretty sure they're really the same. But the second one is different? Sort of run vs rin?
Yeah, vowels are friends. See under: I welcome you to my world, where shit and sheet are pronounced the same.
(I pronounce Erin and Aaron slightly different - very different if I'm speaking Hebrew where Aaron becomes Aharon, but the Mary/merry/marry is not gonna happen).
I know Jewish parents who named their girls Trinity and Bridget.
I pronounce Aaron sort of without a Rochester accent and Erin with a Rochester accent.
I cannot find a good example of my accent online. But sort of like Chicago or Detroit.
Erin with a Rochester accent.
That's like, stretched out to four or five vowels, right? Eeehhhhaaarrrin.
Aaron is like arrow.
Erin is like heir.
Exactly, Tom! Eeeehr!
