I don't think it was an error. In a large part of the US, Erin is indeed pronounced the same as Aaron. There are areas where the two are distinguished, mainly in the Northeast (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania), but in most of the country, Erin and Aaron are indistinguishable when spoken. Therefore it's not surprising that many people initially saw it as a male or unisex name, and Aaron was also popular at the time. I knew a couple of male Erins born in the 1970s and 80s.
