I noticed immediately that Adam pronounces his son's name Ar-ron, when everyone else pronounces it Ar-rin. This must have been intentional because they would've corrected it otherwise. Does anyone have any comments on this?

I noticed it too- He kept saying "Air Ron" rather than "Airun".

I was wondering the same thing. Whatever the reason for it,
I disliked it. Given the affection he had for his son, Adam's
idiosyncratic pronunciation came across as a goof.
