koekoeka, please tell us how to pronounce "Aran" and "Marit." What do they rhyme with, etc.?

For example, is "Aran" an alternate spelling of Erin/Aaron? Does "Marit" rhyme with "merit," or is it like "Marie" the French name? Etc.

Because the letters you use in English have nothing to do with how to write names in Japanese. It's all in the pronunciation.

Also, where are you? Because maybe if "Aran" is an alternate spelling of "Aaron," it might even be pronounced differently even between the UK and the US (though I have no idea: I don't recall that I've ever heard the name "Aaron" pronounced by someone outside the US). Granted, this usually doesn't matter, but it might. I'm not familiar with either of the names you've mentioned.
