My name is Erin, and there are actually people out there who don't understand the difference between Erin and Aaron. Do I LOOK/SOUND like a boy? I don't think so!!!

I named my daughter Erin and people often called her Aaron when she was little, also one woman I barely knew had an argument in the street with me- she had called her son Erin and swore it was a boy's name. She probably didn't want to admit she had made a bit of a mistake!
My name is Marion and I have been called Miriam, Maureen, Marilyn, Marianne and pretty much every similar name over the years. I've also had it spelled Marian and Marrion.
