Erin and Aaron are different. Marry, Mary, and merry are different. Aunt and ant are different. ETA: MIL said "aunt" like "ain't", but most people out here say it like "ant".
Very different. I was sure this post was going to be a question about whether or not Erin and Aaron are okay as a sibset. I was shocked when I saw the actual question
LOL this is blowing my mind. I had NO idea people said these words differently. None at all. I was born and raised in Indiana, went to college here, got mArried here, am raising my family here. We say MARY Christmas. My cousin is Aaron and I pronounce it exactly like Erin. Unless I'm making fun of him (often) because he is a giant douche and acts superior, I will say AHH-ren, again just being dramatic. How DO you all say Merry Christmas then? Like George Bush, "People of 'Murica" style?

@eaglesfan700 - It was brought to mind because I saw it as a sibset's (twins) middle names.

I don't get it. So you say very like furry?
What the hell? No. Very is like Jerry. Furry is like slurry.
Ok yeah, that's how I say them too. I was confused.

No. If you go to m-w.com and type in a word (any word) it will let you listen to the word pronounced.
Fun fact: If you don't hear a phoneme by the time you are 8 months old, your brain severs the connection between those neurons and you will never be able to hear that phoneme, which is why it is so difficult to learn a second language without an accent. (A phoneme is just a single sound, /a/ /s/ etc.) Many people who are native japanese speakers mix up "w" and "L" when speaking English because they can't distinguish between the phonemes.
Even though I say Erin and Aaron differently, DH says it sounds like I am saying exactly the same thing. /shrug
DD3 is Eryn and we say it the same way. She is named after one of my best friends, Aaron, who was killed 23 months to the day before she was born. Her name is spelled after a really good friend of mine who spells it with an y not an i.
I've tired my hardest all day to pronounce them different. I can't. I didn't even know it was an option. I'm from Chicago, and I fully recognize we have our own language here.

I'm from northwest Indiana and went to IU in Bloomington, IN. People there knew I was from "the region." Something about the way I say my "A's" I guess. A lot of my Mom's family lives in GA. They make fun of how I say Aunt. They make it sound like I say Ain't, which I don't. But it does sound between ain't and ant. I definitely do not say aunt like ahh-nt. Not at all.
So I just watched a clip on youtube, and I get how they are different. If I was to speak very slowly, they may sound different. But in normal conversation they sound the same. I'm from Maryland. Oh and Aaron and Erin sound the same.
@kimbus2 here is the original link. Lala says it like you ( I would imagine by your outrage, lol)nHav says them mostly the same if I remember correctly.
Even though Lala says it like I do, you can tell we have different accents. I always find it so weird how accents can vary so much in such a relatively small space.

Same. But thanks for trying
Me too. I'm not getting the difference at all. And yes, all the Mary variations sound the same.

Same for me. I say both like Erin, with a short i sound in the end. One is a girl and one is boy, both named Erin.
Same here...I just can't hear a difference. Same with Mary, merry and marry. I just don't hear it. (Born and raised in CA)
