There are two different opinions on how Elvis´ second name was spelled. I don´t think he could have changed his second name to Aaron. His mother gave him the name Aron, so why should he have changed it? He loved her so much. :hmm:
But I want to know what you others think of that. ;)
If you think he diddn´t change his second name, klick on Aron.
If you think you think he changed his name to Aaron, klick on it. :)
Thank you for answering this poll. :!:

This is pointless.
He changed his middle name legally in the sixties from Aron to Aaron! ;) There is no debate about this at all, so why the poll??!
From www.elvis.com:
Elvis was named after his father, Vernon Elvis Presley, and Mr. Presley's good friend in Tupelo, Aaron Kennedy. Aron was the spelling the Presleys chose, apparently to make it similar to the middle name of Elvis' stillborn identical twin, Jesse Garon Presley. Jesse was apparently named after Vernon's father, Jessie Presley, although the spelling was slightly different.
Toward the end of his life, Elvis sought to change the spelling of his middle name to the traditional and biblical Aaron. In the process he learned that official state records had inexplicably listed it as Aaron, and not Aron as on his original birth records. Knowing Elvis' plans for his middle name, Aaron is the spelling his father chose for Elvis' tombstone, and it's the spelling his estate has designated as the official spelling when the middle name is used today.
Similarly, there is some slight confusion regarding the spelling of Jesse Garon's name. Most reliable resources have the spelling as Jesse. However, near the graves of Elvis, his parents and his grandmother at Graceland is a marker the family placed in memory of Elvis' twin, but the spelling is Jessie for reasons we have yet to determine. Jesse Garon's actual grave site is in Tupelo, MS where it has always been, but it remains unmarked by a tombstone. Lack of money in the family's early years was likely the reason. Then, once Elvis became wealthy and famous, the grave, which is in a public cemetery, remained unmarked most likely in the interest of privacy. Because of the spelling on the marker at Graceland, we tend to use the spelling Jessie to avoid confusion.

You're right And according to an email sent from Graceland......either spelling is correct. He signed everything Aron ; including his divorce papers and his will. ;)
I still use Aron....

Presumably they wanted to use his signature as the boxed set's graphic, so they stuck with a facsimile of one of his signatures ...

He didn't need to actually change it legally because it had always been Aaron!! But he didn't know it ...
Toward the end of his life, Elvis sought to change the spelling of his middle name to the traditional and biblical Aaron. In the process he learned that official state records - of Mississippi - had inexplicably listed it as Aaron, and not Aron as on his original birth records.

Your right srj.
Some people however like to construct their own version of Elvis. As does EPE - but not in the case of his name spelling, in that EPE are correct.

When I was a young girl/teen in the 50 and 60's I always spelled it Aron....then in the later years when I saw it the other way (with the two Aa's) I thought, "What the heck?" :blink: Thanks for the explanation guys. :D

Funny that these days any way to spell a name is acceptable! For instance, Leeza Gibbons! But back in the 30's there was only one "correct way" to do things. For whatever reason Mrs. Presley chose to spell Aaron "Aron" since they were twins, she probably wanted the names to match. Twins were often done that way back then - Ronald & Donald, Diana & Donna, etc. By the copy of the birth certificate - Mrs. Presley was only a year older than her husband. I thought she was a few years older than Mr. Presley! Good thread, Nicole!
Gladys told a fib.....:D
She was 4 years older than Vernon.....

Yes, that's funny....but so unnecessary - she needn't have felt embarrassed about that fact at all. My mother was two years older than my dad and a close friend is also two years older than her husband and it embarrasses her too - didn't my mother though - guess it's all in how you perceive things.
Back to topic, I kind of like Aron not only because it goes better with Garon but because it's different - I like different!:D
Diane
Diane.....
Actually, my first husband was 5 years older than me......my second 4 years younger & I was married to him the longest. That was a God-awful divorce....that's when I just gave up !!
As a friend of mine tells me, " Women are from Venus; men are from Mars."
I'm not too sure where men came from or why SHE invented them.....;)
Surely there was an alternate plan ??
BUT, I should have named my son Aron, I'm pretty sure .....(y)

BINGO!! That's the correct answer......(y) (y)
I'm not sure that it matters , but here's EPE's official answer....;)
Elvis' middle name, is it Aron or Aaron?
Are you ready for this? Either spelling is right and either spelling is wrong. But, how can that be?
Elvis was named after his father, Vernon Elvis Presley, and Mr. Presley's good friend in Tupelo, Aaron Kennedy. Aron was the spelling the Presleys chose, apparently to make it similar to the middle name of Elvis' stillborn identical twin, Jesse Garon Presley. Jesse was apparently named after Vernon's father, Jessie Presley, although the spelling was slightly different.

Yup!
Although there will be the usual few who think Elvis had Aaron put on the tombstone not to tempt fate while he faked his death and borded a flight to Argentina! lol

I am personally confused about the correct spelling of Elvis second name, although my choice was Aaron because it is supposed to be the correct spelling. I have the strong belief his mom could have unintentionally mis-spelled it while accomplishing the birth cerificate.
Diane
10-09-2007, 07:05 AM
I think I read that whoever wrote out the birth certificate spelled it wrong by putting Aron but that Gladys had originally wanted it to be Aaron and so Elvis wanted that too and had it changed. Could be wrong...
Diane
MissyM
10-09-2007, 07:13 AM
Ok here is my opinion. Gladys maybe didn't even know how it got spelled. (nor did she care one way or the other) She probably told a nurse what to put on it (birth certificate) and the nurse spelled it one way. Who knows maybe Elvis always thought it was spelled with two "A's". And remember that some of them didn't read or write real well anyway.
Personally, I think it is blown way out of proportion.
Tony Trout
10-09-2007, 08:24 AM

I agree! And frankly, the correct spelling is just as it appears on the grave at Graceland:
A-A-R-O-N
This whole mess 'bout the correct spelling of Elvis's middle name got started when GBG (Gail Brewer-Giorgio) published her book, "Is Elvis Alive?" and it just snowballed from there.
The correct spelling appears on the marker at Graceland.

:doh::doh::doh::doh::doh:
To save the confusion, here is the simplified version:
1. At Elvis' birth in 1935, his parents wanted his middle name to be Aron, to rhyme with Garon from his dead twin. (No, they didn't even think of Aaron at this time!) So, Aron was written on the birth certificate. This was not a mistake - that's what they wanted!
2. The Mississippi state birth records (ie those documents other than the birth certificate!) listed the name as Aaron. That is the mistake with Elvis' middle name! Who knows why this mistake was made? No one. (I'd suggest that when the person transferring the birth certificate details to the state's official records, they mistakenly wrote Aaron. Thus, Elvis' middle name was always Aaron - only Elvis and the Presleys never knew it.)
Until ...
3. Many years later, when Elvis wanted to change his middle name from Aron to Aaron (to be consistent with the Biblical spelling of Aaron), a check of the birth records showed that he was already named Elvis Aaron ... so there was no need to make any official change.
So, it's a simple mistake of the birth certificate not matching the birth records. Elvis' parents wanted Aron, and later on, he wanted Aaron.

I used to have copies of both birth certificates. I'll look.
The first certificate, had it spelled Aaron. The second had it changed to Aron. Vernon gave the doctor the info and he filled it out.
Then the story was told that Elvis always wanted it to be Aaron.
Sorry, I don't believe that. It was "an answer" to stop people from asking questions, IMO.
Frankly, I could care less. It will always be Aron to me; but no biggie.

At the top of the Aaron one is a date 1953. There is no date on the Aron one;except for the "live birth date."
So, yes, IMO it is a "fake"
Actually, you can find mention of copies of the birth certificate throughout the Net. It's said it was a souveneir. though why a date of 1953 would be on a copy, I've no clue ?

Mistakes happen on birth certificates more than people realize. Parents give the information, but when it's put on the actually document, that's when it can happen. Parents are not the one's filling out the certificate. It's simply a human error that people seem to feel is something that it isn't.

I've always wondered why Vernon used two a's on his stone when everything I have seen had only one a but then I read that Elvis had either changed or or was gonna change it to two a's like Aaron in the bible so now it makes sense to me.

I know now that he wanted it to be spelled Aaron. Even though it was actually spelled Aron.

Mistakes happen on birth certificates more than people realize. Parents give the information, but when it's put on the actually document, that's when it can happen. Parents are not the one's filling out the certificate. It's simply a human error that people seem to feel is something that it isn't.
Quite true! My marriage license states we were married on June 15, when actually it was June 16. My husband refuses to having it corrected, saying we know when the real day is.
Elvis was legally Elvis Aron Presley, and until he legally changed it, that's the way it was, This is from the Presley Archives:

The understanding I had was that the "nurse"/midwife who was there when he was born just couldnt spell the name Aaron right and thats how she wrote it. The doctor who delivered Elvis wrote his name as "Evis" in his own personal log book, so why wouldnt the nurse? That being said, I've read that it was "Aron" his whole life until the mid to late 70's when he decided to have it legally changed to "Aaron". Evidentally, that is why Vernon spelled it that way on the tombstone. Whether all that is true or not, I dont know. You know how it is when you read books and "they" say things.
