Does anyone find themselves accidentally mispronouncing Jason like "JSON"? It must be as annoying as mispronouncing Aaron like "A-A-Ron".

It's always been odd to me that "Jason" and "JSON" didn't end up homophonous. But as an A-A-Ron, if anyone named Jason ever quotes the Key & Peele sketch at me, I'll no longer need to think about how to retort!

Within my circle of friends, all Aarons get Key & Peele's "A-A-Ron" sketch quoted to them as often as all Daves get Cheech & Chong's "Dave's Not Here" sketch quoted to them.

Wait, isn't that exactly how you say JSON??

Here’s how I’d pronounce the two:

JSON: /ˈdʒeɪˌsɒn/ (ɒ like the o in dog, and secondary stress on the “son” part)

Jason: /ˈdʒeɪsən/ (ə, schwa, like the first a in bazaar)
