Does anyone now why Lloyd is spelled with 2 Ls? It would be pronounced the same with 1 L. And what about Aaron? Why does it have 2 As? Is would be pronounced the same with 1 A.
Found out that Lloyd is spelled with 2 Ls because it’s Welsh and the Welsh language uses lots of extra consonants. Couldn’t find any explanation about why Aaron is spelled with 2 As. I think I would be different and spell Lloyd with 1 L and Aaron with 1 A. If I had twins consisting of a boy and a girl, I’d name them Aron and Erin, pronouncing Aron as Ahron and Erin as Eren.
Lloyd is indeed Cymreag (‘Welsh’ is the English word for the language) in origin. The ‘Ll’ isn’t pronounced the same way in Cymreag as it is the modern version of the name. The original lettering system isn’t used anymore, but had a symbol representing this sound. Cymreag, Scottish Gaelic, Irish Gaelic and Cornish all have sounds that are difficult to represent with the modern alphabet, and only the first three are commonly spoken in the lands of their origin.

Cute but it probably takes more flapping to keep his balance than to fly.
