Nicer than the Erin spelling, which I've never liked.

Like Erin wearing a Hallowe'en mask that she can't take off.

I prefer Arin. I like this spelling but not Aryn.

I think it's pretty stupid. Plus in my accent (Australian) - and I would say in most non-North American accents - Erin and Aryn sound nothing alike. Aaron and Erin are also easily separated. So Aryn as Erin makes no sense to me, and I don't see the point of "re-spelling" Erin even if it did.

Sounds nice.
Looks Sci-fi.
I think it would be confusing.

It's confusing. Until you told me, I assumed it was pronounced AHR-in. It reminds me of Aryan. I can't tell if it is for a boy or a girl. I like Erin and would not respell it.

I hate Erin. I hate it with a passion. It's clunky, ugly, and graceless. But I do think the Aryn spelling at least looks better. But not better enough for me to like it.

Eh, the spelling isn't too bad, but I still prefer Erin.
