Aryn

Yet another of the many, many, many spelling variations for the unisex Irish name Aryn. Not to be confused with the strictly male Hebrew name Aaron, or the strictly imaginary Song Of Fire And Ice (aka Game of Thrones) surname Arynn. Usually given to a female baby. Usually mistaken for a male name, or for some other name or word entirely.

A stubborn, troubled, but beautiful person of high intelligence.

An Aryn may reject traditional gender roles, or gender altogether, after years of being treated differently based on what gender strangers assume from their name. An Aryn may also reject the name itself, after years of being mistakenly addressed as Arwen, Aryan, and Ayrn, or if they have a strongly male or female gender identity and are pissed at the constant confusion.

A rare person who values uniqueness and sameness equally, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of both.

Someone who is not amused by deliberate misspellings or the anagram Yarn.

Stranger: So, Arwen the elf, right? Tolkien, Lord of the Rings?
Aryn: Try Aryn, singer on Alderaan, A.C. Crispin's Han Solo trilogy.
