Many dialects simply don't distinguish those sounds
Here in Alabama, Sarah, Erin, Aaron, Harry, Hairy, Air, Carey, Mary, and Karen all have the same initial sound. But in Boston, my cousin Harry says his name significantly differently from the word "Hairy," and says my sister Sarah's name differently from how we said it.
I'm trying to begin to make the distinction myself, but not quite as severely as Bostonions do.
anyway.
