Auberon pronunciation question
I noticed a post earlier asking about pronunciation differences between Orion and Aurion, and it reminded me of a question of mine:How would you pronounce Auberon?Would you pronounce it the same as Oberon or differently, and if they'd be different, how so? (Please tell me what you'd think without checking the link first, since they both have pronunciations given.)Also, what do you think of the name Auberon? (for a boy, just to make it clear :-) ) I'm not planning kids' names right now, so I'm more interested in general thoughts on the name, rather than just how "usable" it is, although I'd like to hear opinions on that, too.

Auberon and Oberon I pronounce the same way: OH-bur-ahn. Auberon nn Aubrey (which I'd pronounce OH-bree to try and differentiate from all the AW-brees) used to be one of my favourite names. I still like it, but it's not longer one I'd seriously consider.Array

I would pronounce it like Oberon but I dislike that spelling. I think Auberon is a really nice name. I like the sound and look of it.
