"Dear Aunt Arya, how do you pronounce Eragon's name? Is the E silent, or is it said 'A'? please help!"

"I had the same problem. At first I called Eragon Aragorn. He just looked at me funny. So I asked the queen, and she looked at me funny. So I figured he didn't like his formal name. Then I came up with a cool nick name. 'E Dragon man.' He looked at me even stranger after that. So I switched his names now and then, but he didn't even talk to me any more. I was sad because I thought he didn't like me. Naturally my family noticed, but they couldn't understand why I couldn't say his name. I tried 'Ery', but it didn't work. Back to the question. I think it's pronounced Air-a-gone. However, just call him any name you want. Hope I cleared things up for you!"
