This is Elvis Presley's middle name and I love the name Aaron. Regarding Elvis, on the day he was born his father listed his name as Elvis Aaron but the person who wrote it on the form misspelled it and it was written down as Elvis Aron Presley on his birth certificate (one A). Apparently Elvis hated this spelling so much, he wanted to change it to the Biblical spelling (Aaron with 2 A's) for most of his life. Unfortunately he never did get around to it but he started using the double A spelling in his 20's. He told his father, various family members and many friends that he wanted it spelled 'Aaron' since that's how it should've been spelled in the first place. He graduated from high school in Memphis as Elvis Aaron Presley (2 A's), later registered for gun permits and credit cards with the double A spelling. In fact, when he died, his father ordered Elvis' marker with the spelling his son preferred and that is why Elvis' middle name is spelled with the double A's when you visit his grave today: ELVIS AARON PRESLEY.
