Girl on a flight I took (sneaked a peek @ the boarding pass, a voyeuristic way to satisfy my name curiosities >.<) Erane I guess pronounced like the traditional Erin? I also knew an Ahren. <= which I like better

Looks like it might be pronounced like Elaine but with an R, maybe? And Ahren looks like AHH-rin to me, not Erin at all. But with all the cooky spellers out there these days, who can tell??

Haha I always try to look at people's names on their boarding pass!

I'd pronounce it either ee-RAIN or ir-AIN

I swear, I must look like such a creeper when I'm secretly trying to see people's names... even when someone's holding mail at the post office! My name obsession is gonna get me in trouble one day. X_X

I can totally relate! Whenever I'm around kids, I am struck by the urge to ask what their names are, but then I realize how very very creepy and inappropriate that is for a stranger to do lol. "NO, NO, I swear I'm not trying to abduct your kid - I'm just REALLY into names!!!" :)
