I love Aron Kodesh. That dual nature is probably one of the reasons that I have such a problem with my name. The name that has resonated the most strongly for me, and I could most see being called again isn't Jewish. It's Veruna Wyn. I used to use that online. Veruna is a Lithuanian goddess of the moon and tides, and Wyn is the rune of joy. I feel really strongly connected to the mythology of Lithuania. I'm part Lithuanian and it's a common ancestry that I share with my goy-boy husband! We both connect really strongly with the native pre-Christian religion of Lithuania. Aron,

My given name is Aron any my Hebrew name is Avrahum. Then there's the issue that I have one A in my name which technically would make my name be the equivlaent of the Aron Kodesh, the holy ark. Maybe it has to do with my own dual nature both feeling pulled to a certain sense of tradition as maintaining a path in the Rabbinic sense and another Pagan sense of tradition as the ancestors. Just thought my thought might help in my own issues with names. I have my odd own take, but it’s almost an opposite problem — I technically have two Hebrew names.
