What about Aaron -> Erin ?

To my Irish ear, these are two completely different names, not even slightly similar. (They're also etymologically unrelated.) It blew my mind when discussions on r/namenerds revealed that many Americans consider these names similar or even identical.

Aaron is Hebrew and Erin is Irish. They just happen to sound the same.
