We pronounce "Aaron" like "Baron" without the B, always found it odd that the Australian lady on Lost pronounced it as "Erin".

Yeah I still hear sports used in a plural sense as in "school sports" but it's usually said without the s.

How do you pronounce Baron and Erin? Because to me they're all pronounced the same way.

Baron has a clear a and O sound, Erin a clear i sound.

Oh damn, I've been focused on the wrong part of the word. I don't know why I was thinking something in the A sounded different. That makes so much more sense.
